The article notes:

The App Store opened in July 2008 with 500 apps, and now offers over 850,000 apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

"The App Store completely transformed how people use their mobile devices and created a thriving app ecosystem that has paid out over nine billion dollars to developers," Cue said.

Customers download over 800 apps per second from the App Store at a rate of two billion apps per month.

WOW - that is a huge amount!!!  Two billion a month.  I have about 40 apps on my iPhone / iPad - I think I need some more!!!
