随着T-Mobile的myTouch 3G(Magic)接受预定，Goolge宣布Android Market中的App数量达到了5000个。Android Market从去年10月22日开始运营，用了大约8个半月的时间达到5000个应用的规模，这听起来算是不错的成绩，但是要知道苹果的App Store仅仅在5个月就拥有了1万个应用，截止本周六，苹果App Store迎来一周岁的生日的时候，它的成绩单大约是56000个应用和超过10亿的下载次数。而Android Market想在一周岁的时候交出这个成绩单看来是不可能的。

苹果App Store新退款政策对开发者不利
继大量的苹果iPhone app开发者抱怨苹果付款不及时，以及客服服务质量低下后（一些抱怨的帖子可以在这里找到），苹果开发者的积极性恐怕将要遭遇又一次打击，因为苹果新推出的App Store退款策略对开发者不利。
新的合同条款如下：
In the event that Apple receives any notice or claim from any end-user that: (i) the end-user wishes to cancel its license to any of the Licensed Applications within ninety (90) days of the date of download of that Licensed Application by that end-user; or (ii) a Licensed Application fails to conform to Your specifications or Your product warranty or the requirements of any applicable law, Apple may refund to the end-user the full amount of the price paid by the end-user for that Licensed Application. In the event that Apple refunds any such price to an end-user, You shall reimburse, or grant Apple a credit for, an amount equal to the price for that Licensed Application. Apple will have the right to retain its commission on the sale of that Licensed Application, notwithstanding the refund of the price to the end.
