"One billion is a pretty big number by any measurement. However, when it’s describing the speed at which something is growing, it’s simply amazing," wrote Eric Chu, director of Android Developer Ecosystem, in a recent blog post. According to official Google statistics, 1 billion apps are being downloaded from Android Market every single month and the total tally now stands at a staggering 10 billion application downloads.
