Yesterday Apple announced history (yet again) ... the App Store will top 200 million downloads sometime today, just 102 days after it opened for business.
The App Store's success has been huge - and in regards to the outstanding number of downloads, CEO Steve Jobs says, "We've never seen anything like this in our careers."
Developers are submitting apps as quickly as people are downloading them, working hard to get their new apps submitted and approved for retail... and ultimately get added to the long list of 5,500+ that are already available.
With the outstanding number of downloads being recorded, the sea of apps continues to expand, and developers aren't as happy as the big dogs on top. In fact developers seem to be getting frustrated with the way Apple communicates... or lack there of. After developers submit an app there is an undetermined amount of time before it will actually be posted. Another frustration is the worry that Apple may pull an application at will and without any explanation.
But despite these small frustrations the downpour of apps from developers continues to flood the decision makers at Apple... and trust me, it won't stop soon.
