In an effort to show devs just how many fat wads of cash they can make working on the iPhone platform, Apple set up this impressive display at WWDC which shows a colour-organized grid of iPhone apps that blip whenever someone downloads them. Those ones that ping over and over again would be your beer, lighter, and/or fart apps, although it’s probably not really “live from the App Store” as captioned, and those repeats are just catching up from lag. By my count, you’ve got about 25 by 45 apps per screen, across 20 screens, which works out to roughly 22,500 apps represented here – a number we think that was surpassed in March, but still a sample big enough to really wow passersby.
