1 Million iPhone 3G\'s Sold, 10 Million Apps DownloadedIn the first 3 days since the release of the iPhone 3G, over 1 million units have been sold…. But that’s not all… With the launch of the App Store to complement the new iPhone, over 10 Million Apps have been downloaded as well! I’d say that’s a fantastic opening weekend, wouldn’t you!?

“The App Store is a grand slam, with a staggering 10 million applications downloaded in just three days,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch user instantly.”

The App Store launched with over 500 apps, and to date more than 800 are now available, with more than 200 as ‘free’ applications. What I’ve found so promising about the App Store so far is the quality of applications found within. There are some really solid apps out there… Developers have done their homework and are producing some great titles. Kudos has to go to the Developers AND Apple for providing a fantastic SDK and support for developers around the world.
