Apple Announces 100,000 iPhone Apps Now Available To Download
Apple [AAPL] has announced that there are now more than 100,000 apps available to download to the iPhone and iPod Touch from the iTunes App store.
iPhone and iPod Touch users are download apps at the rate of about 10,000 per day, which is pretty impressive, and it shows just how popular the app store and the iPhone and iPod Touch platforms have become.
The App Store, now with over 100,000 applications available, is clearly a major differentiator for millions of iPhone and iPod touch customers around the world,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The iPhone SDK created the first great platform for mobile applications and our customers are loving all of the amazing apps our developers are creating.”
“The App Store has forever changed the mobile gaming industry and continues to improve,” said Travis Boatman, vice president of Worldwide Studios, EA Mobile. “With a global reach of over 50 million iPhone and iPod touch users, the App Store has allowed us to develop high quality EA games that have been a huge success with customers.”
Apple have said that they are continually working on the app store to improve search and add new features like Genius for apps, just a couple of months ago Apple reached two billion downloads from the apps store, I am sure they are bound to hit three billion downloads quite soon.

The numbers are impressive but I question the % of QUALITY apps. I have done a little research and it seems like there are a lot of very similar and/or totally useless apps out there. Each to their own of course.
