That's a lot

Rico says Techtree.com has the story of the App Store:
Just a few weeks after crossing the two billion application downloads milestone, Apple's App Store has crossed yet another landmark figure, when the number of approved applications available for download at the store went past the 100,000 mark.
The Apple App Store, launched just last year, has seen phenomenal growth in the period to become the largest online app store. Competing mobile OS platforms like RIM, Android, and Nokia (with its Ovi Store) have come with their own versions of app stores, but none of them match up to the Apple App Store both in terms of the number of downloads and availability of apps. Even the Palm Pre, considered a major competitor to the iPhone, does not have a store that offers as much as Apple's. In fact, the Pre currently has less than 500 applications for the WebOs platform. Then, there is Google's Android, which has always been considered a worthy rival to the iPhone platform; the Android App store boasts around 15,000 applications, which pales in comparison to what Apple has to offer.
