诺基亚有自己的Ovi商店，黑莓手机有黑莓应用世界商店，Palm对应地也有自己的应用商店，最近，连微软也宣布，它的应用商店也将在7月27号开始提供应用软件的下载服务。虽然这几间公司都敢夸耀自己的移动应用商店独一无二，但是，敢说自己是老大的，只有苹果应用商店。

　　现在，经过一年的商业运作，苹果应用商店已经记录超过10万个的软件开发人员，65，000个以上应用程序和超过15亿的下载次数。再加上iPhone和iPod Touch超过4000万部的销量（这意味着平均每部机器的下载次数达到37.5次，每个应用程序平均被下载23，077次），不用再说什么了，苹果应用商店真的是苹果公司的成功创举。

　　反过来，这些数字，也会刺激其它公司的应用商店瞄准苹果，决心和苹果一较高低。但想完成这个任务不是那么容易的啊，我们决定给这些公司一年的奋斗时间，到时候再看看它们进展如何。

　　Apple App Store turns 1, Exceeds 1.5 Billion downloads

　　Nokia has their Ovi Store while RIM and Palm have the BlackBerry App World and App Catalog respectively, and just recently, Microsoft announced that their Marketplace will be ready to accept app submissions on July 27th. Even though each one can boast of their unique take on the mobile app store, there will only be one that can lay claim to being the first, and that’s the Apple App Store.

　　Now, after a year of being in the business, they’ve managed to get over 100,000 developers on-board, over 65,000 apps on the store, and over 1.5 billion downloads to date. With combined sales for both the iPhone and iPod Touch totaling 40 million, that’s an average of 37.5 downloads per device and each app has been downloaded for an average of 23,077 times. Needless to say, the App Store has truly been a successful venture for Apple.

　　This, in turn, will be the figures the other app store upstarts in the market are aiming to beat. It’s a pretty tall order for them, and we’ll definitely be checking on their progress after a year’s time to see if they’ve managed to accomplish this or not.
