App store showdown or how many apps are there really?

[Ebuka Allison]

Well we all know there are five main app stores. The Apple app store,the Windows store, Google Play, Amazon and BlackBerry.
The Apple store has 1.2 Million apps. A similar number for Google play. Now Blackberry has about 150K and Amazon has about 240K. So how many does WP have?
First of all, google play and the app store record both tablet apps and phone apps. If we were to use the same measurement for the Windows stores then we get, 460, 000+ apps. Why 460K? At last count WP had above 250K apps. Several blogs have now begun to report it as 300000 apps including NokNok which is(I think) an official blog. Also, if we follow the speed of new apps using the number given, Logic indicates that the WP store alone is on track to cross 600 000 apps before Christmas. That's pretty amazing

Quality>Quality, though. That's what a lot of naysayers say.

To be honest, though, I didn't realize we had that many apps. How many of those were from the WP App Studio?

20 000. Substantially less than 10%
