1 Billion Apps in 10 Months!


Did you hear that?

It's the sound of the iPhone app revolution. Each revolution has a driving idea and here's the idea for the iPhone revolution: The next 8 times out of 10 that you use your i"Phone", it probably won't be to talk to anyone. That's certainly true for me.

Maybe it's wrong to even call it a phone since talking on it is secondary. We'd rather use it to charge a credit card, straighten a picture frame, catch last night's Family Guy, buy movie tickets or check the weather in Cuzco Peru.

Apple has sold 1 billion apps in 10 months. I haven't checked, but wouldn't the adoption curve for that be close to vertical?
