60 million downloads on the App Store

The App Store has seen some 60 million downloads since its launch last month, and has sold about $1 million worth of applications per day. Most of those 60 million apps are free to download, while those the rest cost between $0.99 to $9.99 or even $999. Jobs told The Wall Street Journal that Apple sold an average of $1 million worth of applications a day. If these figures hold up, it could lead to $360 million a year in new revenue. Jobs also confimed the existence of the rumored remote kill switch, explaining that the company needs to retain the ability to dead malicious applications should they inadvertently make it through the vetting process.
