[kopite81]

Thats increasing at some rate!!!

 

[Feirny]

Christ, that's impressive.

 

[RSteve]

$10,000..to spend on Apps? -.-

 

[eugegall]

Right can someone estimate when they will be near the 25B mark? Then ill go mad spending. I may even buy some legal music.

 

[Sym0n]

Probably about the same time you reply to a text that has a question in it or within the next 24 hours...maybe.

I always reply!!!!!!



















Just not to you!! :rasp:

 

[Sym0n]

r****d.

 

[Bodge!]

I've not bought a single app.

 

[craig2206]

I worked out that it will be about 8 days until it gets to 25billion .

 

[C.J]

Wow.

£10k, I'd finally buy TomTom, that's literally the only app I want, which I haven't bought.

 

[Adamm.]

Jeez that's mental.

 

[welshname]

Close now.

 

[AK]

Still another 700 mil.

 

[welshname]

LOL I missed the 4 and the 2!

 

[Munson]

I find that number difficult to believe. That's 3.6 apps for every living human being on planet Earth.

 

[.Ben.]

I have 59 currently on my phone and over the years, I've accumulated about 90-odd in iTunes, not counting the $hit ones I've downloaded, opened once and deleted...

I don't think I'm the exception to the rule, so it seems plausible.

 

[SamP]

?

 

[Danny133]

I reckon I have 150 apps so ...

 

[C.J]

I find that number difficult to believe. That's 3.6 apps for every living human being on planet Earth.

Makes sense to me.

I've just checked mine, 78 on the iPad, 51 on the iPhone. That's current, probably downloaded hundreds of others that I've deleted.

55million iPads sold, (take my app figure as average) = 4.3billion apps.
108million iPhones = 5.4billion apps.

That figure can easily be trippled for apps deleted, re downloaded etc.

Last June, apple announced they sold 200million iDevices, that's only 125 apps per device on average.

 

[spirez]

?

I don't know the significance, but this made me LOL

 

[Munson]

Maybe I wasn't clear. I didn't meant to suggest Apple are lying or anything silly like that. I meant it just seems amazing that it is literally 3.6 apps per living human. That is an amazing achievement. Even more impressive when you consider that iPhone and iOS are still in their relative infancy.

 

[Revels]

The curve is only going to get steeper too.

There was more iOS devices sold last year than Macs have sold in 28 years.

 

[Jay.S]

That clock doesn't seem real to me.

It's about 1,000 every second it never peaks or drops off just stays the same.

Not doubting the amount they have sold. That countdown just doesn't seem real to me.

 

[Jon.G]

Thats increasing at some rate!!!

LOL. It wont be actual.

 

[Munson]

Unless the page updates at a rate of once every millisecond, I don't think it's supposed to be real.

 

[Gouldy]

The curve is only going to get steeper too.

37 million iPhones alone IIRC, then there is all the other IOS devices too.

 

[ColinG]

How does it work then? (serious question btw) lol like how you meant to know when to start entering when it gets "near"?

 

[Munson]

Just an animation I would imagine. Goes up broadly inline with the rate at which they know people are downloading apps?

Probably not Flash though lol.

 

[ColinG]

Hahah very true,

Wish apple and adobe would knock heads together and sort that situation out!

 

[Munson]

.

 

[Munson]

Maybe if Flash wasn't s**t, and didn't kill batteries...

 

[ColinG]

True..but loads of stuff online uses it which us iPad users can't watch..it gets tedious

Anyhow, can't see it happening now after all this time lol

 

[AK]

Most websites are converting to HTML5, BBC being a big one recently.

 

[Snakey]

Just proves, 25 billion people can't be wrong

 

[AK]

That's not 25 billion people though.

 

[Adamm.]

A million milliunz?

 

[Nickson]

Just proves, 25 billion people can't be wrong

That's not 25 billion people though.

Lol!!

 

[Revels]

Just proves, 25 billion people can't be wrong

There's 8 billion people on the planet.

Do Martians buy apps?

 

[SamP]

Well that's just not true now is it.
