Android gaining a steady momentum with 1 billion apps download record.

While Intel might have a great figure to show off and party at the coming weekend, Google may also join the great figure-war party. The Android Market now has 100,000 apps in the store, and total download hits have reached the 1 billion mark. All this figures come from AndroLib.

It’s also interesting to note that it took just under three months to get from 50,000 to the 100,000 mark. AndroLib’s data also notes that over 14,000 applications became available during the month of June, and over 10,000 have appeared already in July.

Apple preparing their i-Earth app?

July 15th, 2010

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit

Apple has recently acquired a company called Poly9, a firm from Canada. Poly9 makes interactive 3D software designed for use in a browser. A counter attack for Google’s hugely famous and widely used Google Earth application? Or perhaps a gps-like app specifically for Apple’s product? It would seemed suitable for those 5-inch mini iPads that’s coming soon.

Poly9 is not Apple’s 1st mapping service company thought. Placebase was acquired by Apple last year. Poly9 already have an app similar to Google Earth, called the Poly9 Globe project, which is only 303kb and is compatible on all platform. With the two mapping service companies under the same umbrella, it sure will be a force to recon with.
