Apple App Store Hits 1000 Crore Downloads!
One Thousand Crore. Thats the number of individual apps downloaded from the Apple App Store which was launched in 2008. The person who downloaded the 1000th crore or 10th billion app will be receiving a $10,000 USD iTunes Gift Card from Apple that can be redeemed for anything in the iTunes store or the App Store including apps, music, audiobooks, television shows, and movies.
That’s really huge, especially considering the only comparable number to be coming from the Android Marketplace which, if current projections are right, should be at right around 2,750,800,000. Will the Android marketplace ever overtake the AppStore? It is estimated that currently 1000 apps are being downloaded every 9 seconds from Android Marketplace while it takes less than 3 seconds in Apple’s AppStore.
Lets see if Android Marketplace will overtake the Apple AppStore.
