No, it didn't open with the same fanfare as the iTunes App Store. but the Android market is showing great results in its first week of operation.
This according to a new research report from Medialets, the phone app ad network I have written about a couple of times before. Medialets was a first mover in bringing the value of ads to Android just as it (and others) have to iPhone apps.
What do the data show? Well, Medialets reports the following (taken from their blog):
Highlights
(1) 167 Apps have been downloaded between between 667,000 and 2.9 Million times.
(2) Downloads are being driven by 41 apps, which account for between 73% and 83% of all possible downloads.
(3) Two applications, Pac-Man by Namco and The Weather channel generated the most downloads (50,000 - 250,000).
(4) Although download ranges can be very large, growth on the low-end was still nearly 80% during the first week.
(5) 5 Categories account for 61% of all apps.
(6) The number of apps has nearly tripled since launch, led by the Games, Tools and Productivity categories.
Applications By Category
Android Market applications totaled 167 as of 10/29. The top 5 Categories with the most apps accounted for 61% of all titles: Tools, Games, Lifestyle, Multimedia, and Productivity.
The report also shows steady growth for the number of titles available:
