Here’s a cool bit of infoporn from Nielsen, which is trying to track which apps Android users actually use. Answer: Overwhelmingly, Android users use stuff made by Google — Google search, Google Maps, Gmail and and YouTube — along with Facebook.
The
data comes from meters Nielsen plugs directly onto its sample set’s
smartphones, so it’s certainly worth chewing on: I’m a little surprised to see
the popularity of “Advanced Task Killer Free”, a
systems utility. The monitoring company defines “active reach” as the
percentage of users who’ve used an app within the last 30 days.
