Apple’s App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch Recently crossed over 100,000 apps made by developers world wide! This is something which Apple should be proud of (perhaps, it is).
Currently they are serving over 50 Million iPod and iPhone users, and the latest app, I Am T-Pain crossed off all the records with mind blowing 10,000 Downloads per day. The Total count of apps downloaded has crossed 2 Billion!
One of the Strongest Reasons why the App Store succeeded was because the whole new Saga about the Multi-Touch interface which wasn’t much popular in those days when iPhone was released. It gave developers a great chance to explore the new technology and with so many apps being sold everyday a better business opportunity too.
And now when Apple already has a very large user base, it’s surely going to attract the big players in the Market, especially EA Sports, one of the best Game Makers in the world who have made couple of apps which have been great success on App Store like Sims 3 and the Latest Fifa 10.
The Latest Addition was that there came a Genius for Apps, just like the one like music where it showed related songs, now it shows related apps to your current apps. Neat.
