It was only earlier this week that Apple’s homepage changed to advertise the fact that a 10 billion milestone was soon to be reached.

It wouldn’t be insane to think that 10 billion app downloads is a milestone and a half - no other app store or mobile operator portal has reported such impressive download figures.

In other recent news e-marketer reckoned that we all had a collective average of 60 of these apps on our smartphones - that’s a lot of games, news, branded content and generally important little bits of code on our phones.

Apple made it easier for people to pay less then a dollar, a pound or a euro for these little apps - in the race towards free or add funded it may have found the right price. Make it a decision i dont care about, make it easy to pay for, and make it less then a buck.
