10 billion Android Market downloads and counting

I'm dubious about that graph.<p>It's suspicious that it's a graph of cumulative downloads. Cumulative graphs always go up nicely. But what matters is downloads per month. Someone with good monthly numbers will rarely resort to showing cumulative ones.<p>It's particularly suspicious the way the number for December, which we're only 6 days into, lines up exactly where it would if they were seeing hyperlinear growth. You'd have to time your post almost to the day to make it look so neat.<p>I would be very interested to see an ordinary graph (i.e. without graphic tricks to make it steep) of downloads per month. That would show us what's really happening.<p>I wouldn't be surprised if what that graph showed was linear growth (which is bad, because it means a decreasing growth <i>rate</i>), followed by a massive spike in December due to a special promotion.

Personally, I think the 10-cent sale is <i>brilliant</i>. 10 cents motivates you to put in your credit card number if you haven't - and then the difference between 10 cents and 99 cents for other apps later is pretty trivial psychologically.<p>I wonder if they are compensating these partners beyond the 10 cent price?

For a little perspective - the App Store passed 15 billion downloads back in July [1]. Google seems to be catching up.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/07/07Apples-App-Store-Downloads-Top-15-Billion.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/07/07Apples-App-Store-...</a>

So... I'm curious to know what app market veterans think of this kind of thing. Are fire sales like these actually helpful for fledgling apps or is it really just a blip of sales and then back to business as usual?<p>I often lament that Google won't let me temporarily drop my Radar Livepaper app to $0, but perhaps I'd be shooting myself in the foot by doing so.

I wish you could actually price your apps at $.10

Offtopic - Any idea how to make a graph like that (sure doesn't look like Excel!)?
