App Store Reaches Two Billion Downloads

Chris Barylick · September 28th, 2009, 03:01 PM

Apple Inc. today announced that more than two billion applications have been downloaded from its App Store, which currently hosts more than 85,000 apps available to the more than 50 million iPhone and iPod touch customers worldwide and over 125,000 developers in Apple’s iPhone Developer Program.

“The rate of App Store downloads continues to accelerate with users downloading a staggering two billion apps in just over a year, including more than half a billion apps this quarter alone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The App Store has reinvented what you can do with a mobile handheld device, and our users are clearly loving it.”

so let me see if i get this straight, 125,000 developers and only 85,000 apps? sounds like there are a few developers who are doing absolutely nothing!!!

second, how many are free apps? I have never downloaded any app that cost money. All my apps are hacked from the app store.
