All those who have been criticized to death for preferring the Android phone over that of Apple iPhone, well bravo! for putting up with such comments probably coming from iPhone lovers! An Android phone user can now declare one up over the iPhones due to the presence of Android Market.

This is an online software store which specializes in thousands of mobile applications for your Android mobile. This market although looks a lot like Apple’s Application store but in reality is varies from Apple quite considerably.

The stark difference between the two stores is visible through their basic characteristics only. While Apple needs to approve every software uploaded on its store, Google doesn’t require such approval. A third party developer can share their softwares on the store which can be then available for download to the Android users. This store is functional on all Android phones, tablets and other devices. It is Google licensed softwares and not an open source platform.

This market is an easy money making device for small time software developers who can’t spend much on promotion. The most popular section on this market is Sports which offers more than thousand mobile applications catering to all kind of sports in the world. For example, SportsTap, Golf Channel Mobile etc.
