A recent update on the Google Mobile Blog proudly announces that the Android Market has been able to hit the big 10 billion landmark for app downloads!

Currently they’re seeing the Android Market bring a growth rate of one billion app downloads per month, which is impressive in itself. And if things keep accelerating how they are, 2012 is definitely going to be big.

To celebrate this milestone, they’ve decided to partner up with some of the Android developers who made it possible for them to get to this grand number and as a present, are going to make a bunch of amazing (and some of the most popular) Android apps available at a pretty generous price. Starting today for the next 10 days, a new set of awesome apps will be available and offered for just…10 cents each!

Check back to the Android Market for the next 10 days to see which apps you can pick up for just a dime. Definitely a good opportunity to pick up ones that you’ve been hearing about but didn’t want to pay full price for.

Ones from today include Fruit Ninja, Minecraft, SwiftKey X Keyboard, Paper Camera, and SoundHound ∞ (among others).
