Apple said to us Tap into the App Store and you’ll find applications in every category designed to take advantage o iPhone features. And iPhone users must being done, because Apple have announced that over 60 million iPhone and iPod touch apps have been downloaded in the one month since the iPhone 2.0 firmware has been availabe.
Although there are a lot of free downloads, the benefits reach about $1 million per day, generating a total of about $30 million in sales per month. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my career for software”, Steve Jobs says, adding that sales could “crest a half a billion” in short order and that $1 billion could arrive “at some point”.
It seems that the most important for the success of a device, is the applications that it provide. “Phone differentiation used to be about radios and antennas and things like that”, Jobs explains. “We think, going forward, the phone of the future will be differentiated by software.”
