  • Google Play now has 700K apps available for download

    Google has announced that there are 700,000 apps available for download at its Google Play app marketplace for Android devices. All these apps are available for smartphones as well as tablets that are running Google’s mobile operating system i.e Android.

    The number Google has announced for its Google Play store is huge and closely matches Apple’s iTunes App Store which is the largest App Store of the world. Apple recently announced that there are 700,000+ apps available in its App Store for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. Although Apple has announced that there are over 275,000 tablet optimized apps available in its App Store, Google has always avoided providing tablet specific numbers publicly.

    The news of 700,000 apps becoming available for download in Google Play Store is good for Google, developers, and more importantly Android users who have a wide range of apps available for their platform of choice – for almost everything. Google recently announced new products including Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 that are both highly capable and developer devices, and will definitely bring more interest in app developers worldwide for the Google Play marketplace. Google recently extended the seller feature of Google Play to India, that will also have a positive affect on app numbers soon.

  • Indian developers can now sell their Android apps on Google Play store

    Good news Indian developers, Google has just announced that it is extending the Google Play seller support to India. Now Android developers who live in India can now sell their paid applications in one of the largest app markets of the world and earn profit of their content. This is the second major update Google has released today for its Google Play Store. First was the inclusion of the Wishlist feature.

    Previously developers from India could only make free apps for Google Play that weren’t very profitable for them. Not only Indian developers can sell their apps on Google Play now but they can also earn money through in-app purchases feature of Google Play by offering upgrades in their applications. Google has not only extended seller support to India for Google Play developers but has also updated the store, which will now show app prices in Indian Rupees instead of USD.

    It is not only a great news for Indian developers but for whole of Android community as now Indian app developers will be able to offer premium quality apps that they couldn’t before due to lack of payment option.

    While announcing this news Google also shared on its Android Developers Blog that Android activations in India have jumped over 400% over the past year. In the last six months Indian Android users have downloaded more apps than they did in previous three years combined. This signifies the importance of Indian and other Asian markets not only for Google but for all other companies who are deliberately ignoring such opportunities.

    Now Google Play seller support is available to Android developers of 32 countries including around the world including India.
