dreamDroid – Android Market Statistics
When I started with dreamDroid I did not plan to release it on Android Market.
After some pretty good feedback from a couple of dreambox-related boards I decided to invest 25 USD and finally release dreamDroid on the official Android Market.
I expected that it may reach something about 5000 to 10000 downloads total. I was proven to be completley wrong there.
I NEVER expected this little piece of in-spare-time-coded-software to be that successful.
So here's some numbers taken out of the android developer console of today (2010-10-02):
- Total Downloads: 80345
- Active Installations: 31357
- Installations per Android Version
Looking at the average downloads/month dreamdroid will most probably break the mark of 100.000 downloads within the next 6 Months.
For me personally, that's absolutley CRAZY!
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone that for all the feedback and donations!
The PLi thing
The Article is gone, and the discussion will be continued in private, which it should have been from the very beginning.
But let me add one more note:
Some people should really think about how they talk to others.
Tons of comments have been WAY off the line, which finally lead to a HORRIBLE kind of "discussion".
Moving…
not me, the Server!
Some secret time tomorrow lovley little granny (that's the servers internal hostname) will move to a new, more powerful Host (it's not THAT hard to beat a Pentium 4 @1.8 GHz and 2 Gigs of RAM, is it?).
Yes the old maam get's some more RAM (the current host swaps about 500M at ANY time) and maybe even some more cores.
How many cores or how many RAM will be kept secret, as no one knows by now (ok... some MAY know, but they are strictly forbidden to tell anyone).
Thanks to virtualization this should be done within a pretty short amount of time.
If not, well... if it makes you feel better, i cannot even send mails during the downtime. I have to say, I can barely imagine not having my very own server anymore, it's really nice and this one hosts practically my whole "virtual existence", from mail over webserverstuff to game-hosting!
Just for the record. Since using (which started in about 2004, afair) this vServer the total "offline time" somewhat about a handful of Days (It's a guess but it should be a good one). Excluding the 3-Days I killed her pretty much myself...
See you again tomorrow - hopefully
