One Million Palm Pre Apps Downloaded

Though Palm Pre launch was nowhere as big as iPhone 3GS launch, but the Palm Pre app store is going very strong. Palm announced that customers have downloaded more than one million applications from the app store for Pre. It took Palm about 3 weeks to reach one million mark, which doesn’t look that impressive when compared to less than three days Apple’s App Store required to reach one million download after launch last year. However, when considered with the small number of Palm Pre’s (estimated 150,000) in the market, the number is really impressive.

On average, Pre users are downloading more than six apps on their device, which is almost similar too what iPhone users were doing after three weeks of App Store launch. Presently, on average iPhone users download more than 20 apps on their phone. It is likely that Palm Pre will also follow similar application download pattern, as the number of applications available on Palm Pre app store increases.
