The App Store: 100,000 Apps And Counting

Almost 16 months after it opened its doors, the App Store now has over 100,000 applications for the iPhone and iPod touch, according to Apple, and App Store users have downloaded well over two billion apps.
148apps.biz celebrated the occasion with a nifty pie chart, showing what categories developers are creating apps in. As you can see, games are in the lead with almost 17% of titles. Entertainment, books, travel and education titles follow close behind (in that order).
Besides The iPhone, Google’s Android is in a distant second place with almost 12,000 apps in its store. Blackberry has just over 3,000. How many does Windows Mobile have?
246. Ouch.
