Apple's App Store hits 60 million downloads
Steve Jobs was proudly touting the latest numbers from Apple’s iPhone App Store in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ reports that, while half the apps were free, that still leaves $30m in revenues for the newly-launched service.
However, tech bloggers like Julia Roy are realizing that downloading a glut of apps during the honeymoon was not necessarily a great idea.
Not because I don’t like them or find them useful, but because they make even the simplest tasks like texting and emailing really slow to load and I’ve been having serious keyboard slowdown.
Apparently there are still issues to be worked out before the app store can really shine. In the meantime, Steve will be counting his gold coins.
