In terms of downloads, that looks to be about 125 million per month or roughly a little more than 4 million per day. Strangely, though, those 65,000 apps have come from “over 100,000 developers,” which means that there are about 35,000 developers that have never submitted an app. Of course, that does not take into consideration the fact that many developers have already submitted multiple apps.
