Android Market hits 10 billion downloads

Last summer, I discussed the 15 billion downloads from the iTunes App Store, and today, Google confirmed that Android Market hit the 10 billion mark. What are the chances that Android Market overtakes iTunes App Store:
  • Android App downloads are growing faster than iOS' (took almost a year for Apple to double download but just over 6 months for Android)
  • More Android devices activated every day than iOS'
  • Open vs. Closed
but:
  • Apple is delivering always innovative and flawless products and other vendors are playing catch up
  • Superior user experience across all Apple's products
