iPhone App Store Downloads Top 10 Million in First Weekend

CUPERTINO, California‹July 14, 2008‹Apple today announced that iPhone�
and iPod touch users have already downloaded more than 10 million
applications from its groundbreaking new App Store since its launch late
last week. Developers have created a wide array of innovative mobile
applications ranging from games to location-based social networking to
medical applications to enterprise productivity tools. Users can
wirelessly download applications directly onto their iPhone or iPod
touch* and start using them immediately. More than 800 native
applications are now available on the App Store, with more than 200
offered for free and more than 90 percent priced at less than $10.

³The App Store is a grand slam, with a staggering 10 million
applications downloaded in just three days,² said Steve Jobs, Apple¹s
CEO. ³Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the
App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch
user instantly.²

Many of these amazing new applications take advantage of iPhone¹s large
display, Multi-Touch� user interface, fast hardware-accelerated 3D
graphics, built-in accelerometer and location-based technology to bring
far more powerful applications to the mobile arena than ever before.

The App Store on iPhone works over cellular networks and Wi-Fi, which
means it is accessible from just about anywhere, so users can purchase
and download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly.
Applications are free or charged to the user¹s iTunes® account and the
App Store notifies the user when updates are available for their apps.
The App Store is also available in iTunes (www.itunes.com) running on a
Mac® or PC, which syncs applications to the iPhone or iPod touch using a
USB cable.

The tip caclulator works just fine in an original iPhone, thank you;
although it calculates tip based on meal cost before taxes.

Bloomberg says 45,000 which seems to be less.

you mean Bloomberg mistakenly said 450,000 not 45,000.

If they are just counting the US, that's fine but they incorrectly
reported the info, the actual number is 1,000,000 and that is what Apple
stated since those are the facts.

But now we're playing the same old game. Apple may well have sold a
million phones to the carriers, but that does not mean that a million were
sold to consumers and activated.

And more realistic, considering our main store had 60 of them and won't
have more until day AFTER tomorrow....

How stupid.

You are taking Apples word on a Apple product. I bet you believe in
the Tooth fairy too. ( I think I do)

I read one million, but it's very misleading. The original iPhone sold
700K units the first weekend (starting at 6:00 p.m.) in the U.S. only.
Pretty impressive.

The 3G iphone sold 1 million units, starting at 8:00 a.m. Friday, in 21
countries. So in ten more hours, they sold about 40% more units than the
original iPhone, but in 2100% the number of countries.

What this means is that cellular phone customers understand that there
are other 3G handsets that are competitive with the iPhone. Of course it
could also mean that potential customers are waiting for a price cut
prior to purchasing, waiting for all the early-adopters to both pay more
and to get any bugs resolved.
