iPad App Store hits 100,000 apps
According to Apple's on-device counter, the iPad App Store is now home to over 100,000 apps and games, this less than a month after Steve Jobs announced 90,000 during the WWDC 2011 keynote.
This is obviously a huge advantage, especially when Google's Android Honeycomb devices, RIM's BlackBerry Playbook, and HP's webOS TouchPad are launching with very, very few native tablet apps in their own markets.

Awesome!!! One small thing: your Tag says 10,000 instead of 100,000.
Enough to fill 64gb.
I currently have 106 apps on my iPad.
Nice. Android wishes it can be like this
That's alot of tablet apps. This whole obsession with comparing numbers of Honeycomb apps to ipad apps strikes me as a little off base. There are alot of phone apps that work perfectly on a Honeycomb tablets, specifically games. I know on the ipad you can run iPhone apps pixel doubled and they look pretty goofy. Because Android was built from the ground up to run on different screen sizes and resolutions you don't have this pixel doubling nonsense. I have a Droid X, rooted Nook Color and Acer Honeycomb tablet all with different screen sizes and resolutions. I can play things like Plants vs Zombies or Tiny Wings on all 3 and it looks awesome and plays well on all of them. There's no doubt that the ipad has a comanding lead in app quality and number over there competitors but the situation isn't as bad as you might think. I play with my wife's I pad and it's a great product but I thoughtnit would be boring to have 2 of them in our house so I went Honeycomb.It is definitly not as polished as ios on the I pad and has some bugs to work out before its fully baked. That's okay with me because I'm onenof those people who wants to root and modify my devices but for the non geek the ipad is still the best way to go.
