 <title>Apple App Store hits 1 billion downloads by MacWorld Expo 2009?</title>
 <link>http://www.thestandard.com./predictions/suggestions/apple-app-store-hits-1-000-000-000-downloads-end-macworld-expo-2009</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The App Store has been wildly successful for Apple. In a mere 7 days after launch of iPhone, the App Store experienced over &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/07/14appstore.html&quot;&gt;10M applications downloaded&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/live-from-apples-lets-rock-event-in-san-francisco/&quot;&gt;Let&#039;s Rock event&lt;/a&gt; on September 9, Steve Jobs announced yet another milestone for the App Store with over 3,000 applications available and over 100M downloads. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The App Store is also developer friendly as the App Store is seeing the addition of approximately 500 new applications per week added to the library. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, as Apple pushes for 18M iPhones shipped worldwide in 2008 as well as several millions more of iPod Touch, it is anticipated that the number of downloaded applications will continue rise at a faster pace. &lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The prediction is that Apple App Store will see at least &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/14/iphone-apps-downloaded-twice-as-often-as-songs/&quot;&gt;1,000,000,000 downloads&lt;/a&gt; by MacWorld Expo 2009. &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
