Droid-v-Others-Downloads1On Christmas Day, the number of Android app downloads from Verizon / Motorola Droid phones roughly equaled the number of downloads from all leading Android phones combined, according to the latest report from app market analysts Flurry.

T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G and G1, and the HTC Hero sold by Sprint, totaled roughly as many apps as those downloaded to Droid phones on December 25th.

Still, Apple’s App Store continues to dominate the app market. iPhone and iPod Touch users downloads thirteen times as many apps in December as all Android phone users combined, Flurry says. And Apple’s December download volume will total 51 percent higher than November’s, if Flurry’s calculations are correct. By contrast, Android Market downloads only increased 22 percent from November to December. So while the Droid is the hotter phone right now, the numbers point to Apple’s continuing dominance of the app world going into 2010.
