Unannounced promo - top titles for 10c on the Market! Looks like the Android Market has crossed 10 billion downloads!

I woke up this morning this morning to see an intriguing news piece spilling on what looked initially like a glitch in the Android Market - certain top apps were suddenly available to purchase for 10c in whatever your local currency is. Naturally I jumped straight in and by the time I looked I was greeted with the screen you see on your right.

Hitting up the link to the premium apps link takes you to a page titled the 10 Billion Promo, which presumably means the Market has recently crossed a momentous threshold for app downloads and Google wants to celebrate.

Currently the following titles can be had for just 10c:


  • Great Little War Game
  • Asphalt 6
  • Sketchbook Mobile
  • Minecraft
  • Soundhound
  • Endomondo Pro
  • Swiftkey X
  • Paper Camera
  • Fieldrunners HD
  • Colour and Draw for Kids

I already owned half of these excellent titles, and just now purchased the other half for the paltry sum of $0.50NZD.

If you look at some of the icons in the promo banner you can see many apps like Read it Later and Fruut Ninja that don't appear in the current selection of apps, so it looks like there is more to come!

What are waiting for? Jump in and grab some of the Market's best titles at prices that feel like theft!

  1. Was super stoked to see this when I checked my Twitter feeds this morning. Picked up Minecraft & GLWG. Can't complain about the price, and rather impressed to see they localised the currencies too.

  2. Excellent. I'm buying the games for my hubby. I've told him he needs them because you blokes keep raving over them :) Some of the apps I've not heard of before. I know it's just $0.10 but I don't like to clutter my phone with unnecessary apps. Yeah yeah, I know I can uninstall them. Ok, I'm talking myself into it ;-)

  3. Do it Neets! Grab them and uninstall them if you have to, but at least you'll always have the option to re-install later!

    @Onslaught: Classy with the local currencies eh?!

    Can't wait to see what else is served up to us in the coming days! Looks like Read It Later Pro is coming - did you notice the promo banner in the Market changed and the app icons are different?! I think the one I captured there is for another day, because they took and down soon after I grabbed that screen!

  4. Yeah I bought Minecraft asap. Asphalt 6 for $0.10 was a pretty good deal too. Apparently more apps are coming in the near future including ADW Launcher EX as well!
