1 Billion Apps Served...


Sometime within the next few minutes the iTunes App store will serve up it's 1 billionth App since launching on July 10, 2008! Amazing...unbelievably amazing. Given that there are currently 21 mil iPhones & 16 mil iPod touch devices on the market that means that device owners have downloaded an average of 27 Apps per device! Apple has done nothing short of fundamentally transforming the entire mobile content business in just 9 months. They now dominate mindshare amongst consumers as well as the development and publishing community...and this doesn't look like it will be changing anytime soon given the recent, much less than earth-shattering, launches of the Android Market and BlackBerry AppWorld. Thank you Apple...now let's hope somebody figures out how to compete with you so you don't rest on your laurels.
