Some Android Apps Had Multiple Updates in a Single Week – Something You Don’t See on the iPhone

I’ve owned my Motorola Droid for a bit over two weeks now. I considered noting weekly Android app updates like I do with iPhone apps here. I’m not quite sure this makes sense yet since I haven’t installed a tremendous number of apps on the Droid yet. Another issue is that the Android Market doesn’t provide information about app updates. So, I will need to scribble down feature changes and additions from the Droid’s screen as update come in. But, here’s the start of what may evolve into a full weekly Android app updates feature in the future.

Five of the Android apps on my Droid were updated over the past week. And, here’s what I found interesting: Three of those apps were each updated twice! This is something you don’t see in the iPhone world with Apple playing the role of a very slow gatekeeper.

1. wpToGo (WordPress client app) 1.8.9 and 1.9.0

2. Google Places Directory 1.0.19

3. Twidroid 2.7.5 & 2.7.6

4. RealCalc Scientific Calculator 1.3.0

5. ASTRO File Manager 2.1.1 & 2.1.2

Speaking of apps, look for an Android app-focused podcast discussion with Frank McPherson and me right here on MobileContentToday later this week.
