Waiting for the Billionth Download

Here are some of the items he notes that struck me as particularly interesting…

- 78% of all iPhone apps are paid apps
- 80% of the new apps that appeared in the past 4 weeks are paid apps
- The fastest growing category is book apps. Boo! I hate book apps. I would rather see books available through ebook reader apps like Stanza or Kindle for iPhone
