Google Launches "Application Stats" for Developers

Just about every consumer electronics product now includes software or content as key parts of the end user experience. For experience providers, it appears that information now also is becoming a key part of the product creation process.

Google has launched a new "Application Statistics" dashboard in the "Market Developer Console" that gives developers information (in aggregate) about who is buying a particular application from the Android Market.

The new dashboard provides charts and tables that summarize each app’s active installation trend over time, as well as its distribution across key dimensions such as Android platform versions, devices, user countries, and user languages.

The dashboard also shows the comparable aggregate distribution for all apps in theAndroid Market. Developers could use insights gleaned from actual activity to guide development of new apps.
