1 million 3G iPhones sold, 10 million App Store downloads

Do you guys have any notion how distant it took for Apple to sell 1 million iPhones? For those wondering, it was 74 days. As for the iPhone 3G, it took only 3 days. Granted, the newest addition to the iPhone family has a lower purchase price (if you’re eligible) and was released in quite a few new territories, but 1 million phones in a singled-out weekend is nothing to scoff at.

With a million iPhone 3Gs out in the

wild, one has to speculate just how many applications were downloaded through the App store. Actually no speculation is needed, Apple has announced that there have been by 10 million downloads in the first three days.

If I’ve done my math right (it’s some pretty complicated stuff), the average iPhone 3G buyer downloaded 10 things from the App Store. That sounds like a pretty fair number. I initially snagged14 apps, how about you guys?
