Apparently the effort to expand the Android Market to more than 20 countries is paying off. It took the store almost two years to get to the 100,000-app mark, but just 63 days to double that.

With that 200,000-app milestone under its little green robot belt, the Android juggernaut can boast about its plethora of apps as it basks in the glow of being the top-selling smartphone operating system.

Regardless of its market position, according to Androlib, more than 2.5 billion Android apps have been downloaded since its opening in October, 2008. That's phenomenal. However, the Android Market has a long way to go if it wants to match the variety of Apple's App Store, now with more than 300,000 choices.
