Aviation apps find a calling on the iPhone
Apple hit a big milestone last month: its App Store officially surpassed 100,000 apps.

Apple hit a big milestone last month: its App Store officially surpassed 100,000 apps. That’s a mind-numbing number when you consider that the App Store didn’t even exist until July last year. Apple hit the 65,000-app mark a year later. The continued development pace is nothing short of amazing. And while some might argue that as a phone the iPhone leaves a lot to be desired, there’s no denying that as an application platform Steve Jobs’s wonder product leads the pack.
