Happy Birthday Apple App Store


The Apple App Store is just over a year old today. A statement that the company released last week states that the App Store has received over 1.5 billion downloads from over 65,000 available apps. Pretty startling numbers from such a young service.

Oddly, there are about 100,000 app developers for the 65,000 available. A few things may be going on here, either this points to a 35,000 app rejection rate or many app developers are waiting on the sideline to submit their product. Can't count out multiple submission from developers as well.
