Apple: 300 million iPhone apps downloaded

Apple indicated today that 300 million iPhone apps have been downloaded from its App Store since it opened in July, according to advertisements placed in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

The ads highlight some of the applications available for the iPhone, but the print at the bottom reveals the new information.

In addition to the 300 million apps download, Apple also indicated that the App Store also passed the 10,000 app mark in the store.

The App Store opened almost five months ago with 500 apps. As of the last earnings announcement, Apple reported 200 million downloads of its then 5,500 apps.
