Apple Approves 102K Apps, 94K Available

Apple has approved some 102,700 iPhone apps for the App Store, with 93,850 of those apps being available for purchase or download as of October 28th, 2009. The figures come courtesy of AppShopper.com (first noted by PCWorld), which tracks and lists iPhone apps as they become available.

Apple announced it had passed the 85K milestone on September 28th, and will likely announce the 100K milestone the day that number is available for actual download, which could be as early as the next three or four weeks at the current rate of progress.

Google's Android platform is #2 in terms of the number of apps, with some 11,284 apps, according to Androlib.com. Research In Motion's BlackBerry App World currently lists 3,066 apps.
