actually the math on 2B downloads doesn't add up to me. that means every device has downloaded 2000 apps on average. we dont use every app we download but we've only downloaded 93. in fact, those 93 take up about 1G of space on my device. assuming those are average-sized apps, 2000 apps would require 20G of space which some devices dont even have.
and even if you downloaded 5 per day, and didn't use them cause they were junk (entirely possible), it would still take you over a year - 400 days -to get thru 2000. i just dont see it.
CORRECTION - math is wrong. 50M devices/2B downloads = 40 downloads per device. now you're talking. 2000 is the average # of times each app was downloaded - not a very interesting stat, unless you're selling apps for a dollar. Hmm - wonder how much Apple takes as their cut? Even 50% of $2k is not bad. Maybe i *should* go back to programming...
