Latest App Store Wiki Report - 79 and Counting
| 
The
WIP APP STORE WIKI now counts 79 app
stores and continues to grow!
36 stores launched in the first half of 2010; that's compared to 24 in the second half of 2009, and just 8 in the first half of that year. Will the number of launches continue on the same path? It seems unlikely, but a number of opportunities remain for app store providers who want to focus on a particular vertical market or type of application.
Find out more by downloading the WIP July App Store Report to see all the latest additions and
their features.
