Apple’s now famous App Store has passed the 100,000 approved iPhone app mark. Truly amazing to think about.
The mark is an “unofficial” milestone of sorts, however, as the count of currently available apps stands at only 92,000 or so. The difference results from the removal of applications from the App Store by either Apple or the applications’ developers, but based on knowledge passed to us from various sites and blogs, the 100,000 app mark should be passed for certain in the next week or so.
Considering how short of a time the store has been open, its truly an astounding watermark to pass, and the future looks even brighter for the App Store.
Apple’s most recent announcement of App Store application count occurred in late September, when the store passed the breathtaking two billion downloads mark, with 85,000 available apps at the time.
Some analysts predict the 200,000 mark will be in sight early/mid next year, with 250,000 apps by the end of 2010. Too many choices – not necessarily a bad conundrum to have, iPhone users.

They need to figure out how to thin this out in a way that users can find the apps they are looking for. 100k apps !
How are you going to search through this lot ?
In one year from now theres going to be 250k apps , it means most apps will never be seen and unless you have a ton of funding to get your app promoted outside the app store the future for small developers look bleak.
