App Store Downloads Hit 10 Billion in Under 3 Years, iTunes Music Store Took 10

As Fortune Tech pointed out in an article yesterday, the App Store has managed to hit the 10 billion downloads mark in just 31 months – a milestone it took the iTunes Music Store ten years to reach. Even taking into account the amount of free and inexpensive apps, that seems like a hell of an impressive pace.

They also shared an interesting graph – from the folks at 148apps.biz – that shows the breakdown of app category distribution in the App Store. Books leads the way with a little under 17%, followed by Games at almost 14.5%, and then Entertainment, Education, and Lifestyle to round out the Top 5. You can see lots more detail on this at the 148apps.biz post here:
