Apple today announced that developers have created over 100,000 apps for the revolutionary App Store, the largest applications store in the world. App Store users have downloaded well over two billion apps, continuing to make it the world’s most popular applications store.

“The App Store, now with over 100,000 applications available, is clearly a major differentiator for millions of iPhone and iPod touch customers around the world,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The iPhone SDK created the first great platform for mobile applications and our customers are loving all of the amazing apps our developers are creating.”

“The App Store has forever changed the mobile gaming industry and continues to improve,” said Travis Boatman, vice president of Worldwide Studios, EA Mobile. “With a global reach of over 50 million iPhone and iPod touch users, the App Store has allowed us to develop high quality EA games that have been a huge success with customers.”

In less than 18 months Apple’s App Store has grown from 1,000 apps to 100,000 apps, and is still growing fast. Along with the number of applications on App Store, the rate of application download has also been growing exponentially, making App Store not only the biggest applications store in the world, but also the fastest growing.
