Just in case you felt compelled to assemble a collection of every push-to-fart program out there, the price of purchasing all 55,732 available iPhone apps to be $144,326.06. No volume discount? We’re afraid not.

This is as of 7/6/09. That averages out to $2.59 per app or so, or $3.34 if you include the free apps (usually made up for with advertising).

Not that anyone would actually do this (we don’t think, anyway), but its kinda neat to think of owning that many apps. There wouldn’t be enough hours in the day to see and learn to use them all!

We felt compelled to bring you all these numbers in light of the 1 year anniversary of the App Store’s existence recently. It’s simply amazing that the App Store has been around for a year already, but its been a year of incredible growth and prosperity. And the trend is definitely up, folks.
