If you were one of the few that thought Skype for iPhone wasn’t that big of a deal… let me lay some numbers down on ya this morning. Since the Skype iPhone Application hit the Apple App Store Tuesday, it has seen more than 1 million downloads. That’s right… 1 Million! Congrats Skype! A neat little tidbit about that crazy number is that if you work out the numbers of downloads vs. time, that works out to approximately 6 downloads per second (thanks Robin!).

It would be neat to know if Skype reached the 1 million app download mark faster than any other app… I’d be inclined to think they have, but unfortunately I don’t seem to have those numbers in front of me at the moment. Perhaps Apple could be kind enough to let us know?
