App Store Downloads Hit 500 Million

Apple’s App Store is certainly one of the reasons for the iPhone’s success, but let’s not forget that it’s a great achievement by Apple, and has spawned enough copycats from other manufacturers too. Apple’s App Store has managed to hit a new milestone, and in extremely good time too. In about 6 months after opening, the App Store has managed to hit 500 million downloads, which is extremely quick, considering that the iTunes music store needed about 2-years to get 500 million downloads.
