Apple has noted that they have reached the 300 million download milestone for the App Store, almost five months after the store went live. Despite being a large number, a deeper look shows that growth has flattened.
Silicon Valley Insider estimates that it took 61 days to hit the first 100 million apps downloaded, and then 43 days each for the next hundreds.
Although Apple must be disappointed with the flat numbers, compared to the floundering mobile app industry the numbers are certainly impressive.
SVI also estimates that there are about 25 million iPhones and iPod Touches out on the market which means that each user could possibly be downloading up to 15 apps per device, an average far higher than that of any other mobile device.
