App Store Almost Reaches 10,000 Apps
While several sites have reported that 10,000 iPhone Apps have been released into the App Store, the actual number of active iPhone apps that can be downloaded is about 9,676 as of today's count. The discrepancy comes from the fact that many apps have been removed from the App Store for various reasons (trademark infringement, discontinued apps, pulled and released).
Still, the 10,000 active app mark should also be broken in the next few days. Games continue to dominate the App Store with 24% of all apps, followed by Entertainment (11.6%) and Utilities (10.9%). Games also seem to dominate the Top 100 Paid and Top 100 Free apps.
Apple originally launched the App Store on July 11th with only 500 apps. Due to its success, several competitors have plans for their own version of the App Store.

The more we get, the better selection and competition for us, the customers... The only problem is finding the good ones worth using and consuming our time. With such a high number, some greats are going to be brushed under the rug and never seen, but in all this is an exciting number! 10,000!

Agree.Ten thousand apps is quite an accomplishment.
With this kind of popularity, we may see new touch hardware. :)
