"That's already resulted in well over 2,000 iPad-specific apps being available for the launch
day, and indicates that developers are genuinely excited about the prospects of
writing for the iPad," comments Fast Company.
Still, while Android's new app share has fallen by nearly 50%, Flurry counts numerically more apps being written for Android in March --
actually equating to twice as many as arrived in February. That means the Android app market is still growing, just at a slower rate.
"Android's percent has declined because iPhone and
iPad growth is increasing at a rate faster than that of Android," clarifies Flurry's Peter Farago.
Furthermore, "Android interest does remain strong," writes Mashable. Though, "The rush to get an iPad app out at launch day though has apparently taken at least some of the share away from
Google's mobile platform."
Meanwhile, Flurry reports that while 4% of apps were written for BlackBerrys in 2009, over the last 60 days that share has fallen to around 1%.
Overall, "The take-away, in addition to the current spike of popularity for the iPad among developers, is the fact that 'the total pie is growing significantly, month over month,'" notes ReadWriteWeb.
