Further, the search engine giant also highlighted the interesting facts like the most popular time of Android app download which is said to be Sunday 9:00 PM whereas the least popular time to download is Monday 4:00 AM. The report also revealed the fact that people from 190 countries download android apps per day.

Celebrating the record-breaking event, the company has unleashed a stack of new apps that include Asphalt 6 HD, Color and Draw for Kids, Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro, Fieldrunners HD, Great Little War Game, Minecraft, Paper Camera, Sketchbook Mobile, Soundhound Infinity and Swiftkey X. These apps can be availed for 10 cents each on Android Market till December 16.

Speaking to BBC, Carolina Milanesi, from analysts Gartner said, download numbers were a poor measure of success. "The number game matters to industry watchers and helps advertising but it is not changing the bottom line. Quality of the apps and the store in general and curation in particular should be the focus for Google.” "This is where I still see a difference between the Apple App Store and Android Market.  This might not impact downloads but it will eventually impact the revenue opportunity for developers," she added.

Some fun statistics of the report are: in the past four months Android users have spent 1.87 million hours particularly on the IMDb app. 10 billion cans have been knocked down playing the Can Knockdown game; and 466,216 miles have been run each month by the players in the Fieldrunners game. With the usage of Google translate, more than 100 million words are translated every week into 200 different countries. Each year more than 12 billion miles are navigated via Google Maps. Adele songs have been Shazam'd 1,789,955 times. SwiftKey's X keyboard app has saved 20 billion keystrokes on Android handsets. And Android users have spent more than 4,000 years playing Talking Tom.
