The Android market now has 100K apps! It looks like Android is gearing up to take the pole position!

This represents a 1000% growth in the last year! While we can't expect this growth trend to happen forever, there apparently are more than 270K developers developing on the platform currently, so this time next year, phones and tablets may have a similar growth in applications.

Of course, this number doesn't take into account external markets (eg. v-cast store, archos market, upcoming amazon market, gameloft store, etc).

But even without growth speculation, 100K apps represents a fine selection of applications for consumers and OSS advocates alike.

For future Tab owners, this is a very nice bit of news.
