Android Market reaches ten billionth download, sells Minecraft, Swiftkey X and others for a dime

Happy milestone , Android Market ! It is a busy place, stuffed with hustle and bustle — a lot so, as a matter of fact, that the applications plaza for Google’s mobile OS just had its ten billionth app downloaded. In honor of hitting this mark, it’s passing the savings directly to you, placing ten apps on sale for ten cents. The sale will last for ten days (notice a theme?), so procrastinators can have a bit time beyond regulation to make your mind up which of them are worth a dime. There is a few classics at the list, comparable to SwiftKey X , Minecraft , Asphalt 6 and SoundHound. Check the source link (or glance on the screenshot above) to work out what else is offered, in addition to a statement straight from SwiftKey below the break.

SwiftKey X included in Android Market
10 billionth app download promotion

London, UK – 6 December, 2011 – SwiftKey™ X (http://www.swiftkey.net), the award-winning keyboard for Android™-powered smartphones, is on offer for just £0.10p / €0.10¢ / $0.10¢ this Tuesday-Wednesday after being chosen by Android Market™ to be featured in a unique promotion to celebrate its 10 billionth app download.

The promotion, which features 10 premium apps day by day on the bargain 10p / 10¢ price, runs for 10 days from 6 December to 16 December. SwiftKey X, which replaces smartphone keyboards with one which uses natural language technology to make typing easier, is being featured at the first day of the celebration from 6pm GMT, at an awesome 95% off its list price.

Joe Braidwood, CMO of SwiftKey, said: “We’re really thrilled that Android Market chose to showcase SwiftKey X on day considered one of such an awesome milestone. It’s exciting to consider what number of people internationally should be ready to unlock the ability of SwiftKey today at this kind of low cost.”

This latest promotion comes just after a SwiftKey X Thanksgiving weekend promotion, which saw the app rise to No. 1 within the global Android Market paid app chart. SwiftKey X (http://www.swiftkey.net/download) is usually downloaded on the reduced price on 6 December and 14 December from Android Market stores internationally.
