App Store hits 500,000 apps in 34 months
The number includes iPhone, iPad and iPod touch applications, however the actual number of applications currently available for download is 20% less, or 400,000.
To mark the first half million of applications, mobile app blog 148apps, search firm Chomp and game maker Chillingo have put together a huge infographic with all the milestones in the development of the App Store. Today’s iOS application landscape includes 85,569 unique developers, 37% of free apps and an average price of $3.64 per app.
The rest - as they say - is Angry Birds and history, which you can check out in the infographic on the right. So while we wait for Apple’s June 6th WWDC event and all the novelties it brings, we can bet that this will make it to the highlights there.
