Apple announced that there are more than 1,000 applications available for the iPhone and that there have been 25 million applications downloads. Games are proving to be a popular iPhone app as they are leading the paid app board carrying 53 of the top 100 places. Also 20% of the apps are freebies and 90% are priced under $10.
Apple Applications like PhoneSaber which are targeted to most of the audiences are free. Currently there are 6 apps that cost over $50 and due to this the average price on an app is $6.70, but the overall cost on all apps is $4.96.
Expensive apps have also started to make their way in the App Store. Two MyAccountsToGo apps are running for $449.99, and another iChart EMR is charging $139.99. Of course, these are targeted at professionals who will heavily rely on them.
Many feel that the apps available for the device and its capabilities as a software platform may actually be more important than the device itself, so the growth is good for iPhone owners.

With so many great apps available I really think we need more than 16gbs of memory! I'm sure they will introduce a 32gb model in the next 6-12 months and then we will be almost unlimited in the number of apps we can have!
I found a cool new application for trading stocks from my iPhone. It's called ipTrader. I'm a TD Ameritrade client and the application was made especially for TD Ameritrade customers. Check it out: www.iptrader.com
How many are there now? I bet there must be many more. Be needing a bigger iPhone soon!
