HOW many apps???

Just FYI, there are now slightly in excess of 675,000 apps in the Apple App Store. One perverse mathematician at Slide2Learn calculated that if you laid the icons on the ground in the size they appear on an iPad screen, (about 1.4 cm wide), they would stretch for 9.5km. Also he estimated if you put together the icons of all the apps downloaded so far (2 billion or so) they would stretch to the moon.

Of these apps, 50,000 are in the Educational category. Many others have educational uses (like the two from my previous posts) but are not categorized as Educational.
