If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Either first hand knowledge or information you have heard or read would be fine.

I am doing market research and wonder how many application/game downloads are really occuring in the App Store/iTunes for iPhones/iPod Touch devices. I know how many total downloads they have (200 million), but any only concerned with Paid Apps/Games. So if anyone can answer these questions or share some light, thanks

1) How many of the 200 million downloads are from paid apps
2) Does anyone know how many paid downloads it takes to take the #1 spot daily, #10 spot, #25 spot, and #50 spot
3) How many apps/games have you paid for, and how many free ones have you downloaded.


Thanks again.

This may be of help, and if not it's certainly interesting... www.smh.com.au/news/digital-life/smart-p...4/1223750013791.html

I'll count up the number of apps I've downloaded later when I have more time.

Hi,

I moved this to the buy/sell area simply as that section clears out poasts after 90 days and this (I imagine) needs to be answered in that time.

Re 1 and 2, I think you are unlikely to be able to find such information. What you might want to do is look at Apple financial results, but more specifically, the press discussions that occur after. Search for "points of interest from apple financial call" (or stuf like that) where they may expand a bit on information....but certainly not to the degree that you're asking.

Re commercial and free...the latter is hard for me, as I tend to download any that look interesting, but often delete in minutes.

Currently commercial = 10
Free = 32

I've excluded web apps (such as the NZMac.com and NZiPhone.com ones) as it sounds like you are talking about stuff off the iTunes site.
