Apple Apps Sales Soar, Kill Switch Revealed

posted in Apple News |

Apple App Sales

The Apple juggernaut hit a new high recently after announcing that there have been over 60 million software downloads from the App Store. These downloads, after being up for only a month, are apparently generating $30 million in revenue. Bare in mind this is just as the iPhone is picking up steam.

Steve Jobs is obviously ecstatic and he confirmed so in a Wall Street Journal interview. The other bit of information he also confirmed was the presence of the rumored and highly controversial ‘Kill Switch’ for non approved applications. We brought you this news previously.

Jobs says “Hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull.” There isn’t much elaboration upon why it is so irresponsible, but we’re it will put many hackers out there to work against this kill switch. When do you think the hack will be out?

All that aside Apple still seems like it’s on the path to mobile phone gold and maybe we should turn our portfolios to those stats and not the apps we aren’t supposed to be running.
