Google has sold 10 billion apps from their Android Market store after Android became the worlds most popular operating ststem for Smartphones.As a result is set to cut prices.
Among the first titles to be discounted are Asphalt 6 HD, Minecraft, Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro and Swiftkey X.
Sales are believed to have been helped by the appearance of Android tablets such as Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
To mark the moment Google said that for the next 10 days it would cut the price of some top apps to 10p each.
The search giant announced the milestone on its blog adding that the store’s apps were being downloaded at a rate of one billion a month.
However, some industry analysts played down the figure saying Google should do more to address poor-quality programs.
Google said the pace at which apps were being downloaded was starting to accelerate. Its figures show Android took 22 months to reach one billion downloads but only one month to go from nine billion to 10 billion.
By contrast, Apple hit one billion downloads after nine months. Although the iPhone maker still maintains a lead, some experts believe it will be short-lived.
