I’ve see a good sized increase in downloads over the last few days regardless of whether they were paid apps or free. I didn’t notice it at first but yesterday I was taking a lot at my statistic and saw the increase.

I’m not too fond of that banner thing at the top of the market just yet, it seems to be pretty selective in what it shows.

Everyone’s got a brand new phone, and they’re playing with them constantly, which would account for the spike in traffic, which will probably go down as people get used to them. (Just in case anyone thought this was an indication that 23% of the android phones out there are droids or anything)

To be honest with you, I don’t have a single paid app. But I would assume sales increased, because of a few reasons:

1. Those new promo banners, which rolled out last night.
2. A new pool of Droid users.

Have you noticed any increase since they changed the Market to show more paid apps? I know I have been buying more now that I can find them esier.

My market downloads, traffic, as well as revenue doubled over the last week. I hope this is not temporary.
