The Android Market took a little bit of time to get heated up, garnering its first 1 billion downloads only after two years on the market. Would you believe that the same amount of downloads happened in the last 60 days? Those are the facts, according to Google’s mobile advertising sales director for Europe Ian Carrington, who announced that since its inception Android has seen 4.5 billion downloads from its apps storefront. If the number of downloads are growing at any rate similar to the number of device activations per day, the figure is likely to blow through the roof by the end of the year.
