App store milestones: Windows Phone 7 hits 5,000 as Android passes 200,000 available apps

Apps, apps, apps! Everywhere you look, more apps. Both Android and
Windows Phone 7 have reportedly crossed a couple of round number
milestones recently, giving us a decent idea of the maturity gap
between the two. Microsoft's brand new OS with an old OS' name has
rounded the 5,000 available apps corner -- that's according to two
sources keeping track of what's on offer in the Marketplace -- while
AndroLib's latest data indicates Android's crossed the 200,000
threshold when it comes to apps and games taken together. We're
cautious on taking either of these numbers as hard truth, particularly
since AndroLib was reporting 100,000 Android apps when there were only
70,000 -- but they do provide rough estimates as to where each
platform is in terms of quantity, if not quality. Now, where do you
think each will be this time in 2011?
