Update: And just like that, Google says its fix is in place and developers are seeing their apps again. Huzzah! [Google]

Original: Apps have been disappearing from the Android Market for a good many of you (and us) for a few days now, and you’ve been screaming for answers. And we hear you. And, believe it or not, Google’s heard you, too. Here’s what Google told us about the problem:

"We are aware of an app visibility issue with certain recent devices. We believe it to be a device configuration problem and are working on a workaround."

We know, we know. You guys and gals won’t be happy until the apps are back in the Market like they should be. But remember that there are thousands and thousands and thousands of you using the Android Market, and we don’t wan things to get worse. (But that said, let’s get this fixed, Google, m’kay?)

I’m thinking that something is brewing on Android market.  Yesterday afternoon I noticed that order of many apps in the “Productivity” category had changed drastically.  The last I checked, at least one of my apps – Hire*A*droid is missing comments entirely (it had about 350). A quick search on Twitter yielded some entries indicating that paid apps started to appear on international markets as well as some apps mysteriously disappearing from the Market altogether.

I’m wondering that with “Apple thing” finally over the time has come for the big Froyo and market push?  Is Google set to deliver on all these wonderful promises that got us all excited just two weeks ago. What do you think?

More importantly, have you noticed any changes on the market?

iPad holds 0.04 percent of the browsers market

iphone news

Browser market was one of the most controversial. Microsoft dominated for a long time with its Internet Explorer, but in the last few years Firefox has managed to steal quite a large proportion of that of IE. Apple Safari also had several similar experiences, but the browser failed to impress Windows users, although the primary browser on Mac OS X operating systems.

For mobile browsers, things are quite different. Mobile Safari dominates the market for mobile browsers, mostly because it is embedded in the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now, with the advent of mobile browser iPad will further strengthen its position.

From Engadget reported that the iPhone now holds 0.51 percent of the market, while Android and Blackberry, respectively 0.07% and 0.04%. iPad is the market just two weeks, but already holds a large as that of the Blackberry. According to NetApplications, of 16 April iPad holds 0.04 percent of market share.

Everyone is aware that iPad generally leads to media device, but these numbers clearly show that people accept the device for a great way to surf the web. Expected share of the iPad to rise further after being placed on the international market.
