iPhone App Store reaches 300 million Downloads and 10,000 Apps Inventory

Back in July Apple launched the iPhone and iPod touch App store on iTunes with 500 applications. In a big print advertising in the NY Times and the WSJ Apple revealed that there are now less than 6 month later 10,000 Apps available and the download counter stands now at an amazing 300 million.

Apple is not making money on each download as there are also tons of free Apps on the iTunes App Store. But who cares. The adoption is what counts for now. If that growth continues like this Apple will have a huge money maker on its hands in 1 year.See a scan of the Apple print ad on MacWorld.

Apple released this week the top Apps based on downloads in 2008.
