Android operating system was launched October 22, 2008. In the past 8 months the number of apps have increased to 6000, a lot fewer apps compared to Apples app store that hosts around 60,000 applications. Though Android is an open source OS and supposedly is easier to create applications than iPhone's SDK why hasn't Android marketplace seen a plethora of applications as supposed to Apple store. It seems like Google's effort in trying to get Andriod on a better phone has been futile till date.
Now, Microsoft wants to enter the battle with its latest Zune HD. Zune HD, though packed with features like HD radio, unlimited music subscription etc, Microsoft missed the boat on mobile applications. With everyone going open source with their apps, Microsoft wants to create every single one of them and they have created 9 apps, (literally 9 apps).
So apple still leads the mobile phones/apps arena and we will have to wait and see Google or Microsoft can put a dent on its dominance.
