SAI Chart of the Day: 2B App Store Downloads

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A chart can say so much more. Earlier today, Apple announced 2 billion downloads from its mobile App Store and 85,000 applications available. Silicon Alley Insider put that apps into a shocking chart.

Can you say platform of the future? The next computing platform—the one replacing the PC—is where the apps will be at.

Apple has sold more than 200 million music capable devices, about 50 million—iPhone and iPod touches—that can run applications. Hey, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Palm and Research in Motion, you desperately need a catch-up strategy. If only there was an app for that. :)

2 Million App Store applications
