The Android App Market count has hit the 100,000 mark this morning, with the Android Dev Team tweeting: “One hundred thousand apps in Android Market”. The last head count we got from Google was back at the beginning of September, when Google’s Director of Mobile Hugo Barra told us there were 80,000 apps in the Android Market.

The selection of apps and games on Android Market is a little thin at the moment, almost as though developers were waiting for some kind of announcement or other…
…and we are off. In the next couple of months (“Q1 2009″ in marketese) developers will be able to charge actual money for apps on Android Market, rather than giving them away for free.
Oh Google, you disappoint us. We thought you were above this, but no. The latest disassembly of Android has unearthed icons for the Android Marketplace showing, yep, tawdry ringtones and wallpapers will soon be on sale.
