It’s been a great year for Android. Despite some HTC bans here and there and some Samsung tablets working their way out, Google has achieved some great results, from the phone activations to the billion app downloads. And now, the big Android Market has reached a total of 400,000 apps with 100,000 developers, while the number continues to grow.

The above graph indicates the growth between Apple’s App Store and the Android Market, showing that Android Market has been catching up at a fast pace. And at that speed, we can basically expect our Android Market to surpass the iOS counterpart by the end of 2012 at latest. For both users and developers, that certainly is good news.
