The iPad’s popularity has no doubt been a factor in Apple’s continued dominance of the app market. Gartner research found that 9 out of 10 app downloads of an estimated 8.2 billion were from Apple’s app store.


It is therefore no surprise that the same research company are forecasting App sales of $15 billion in 2011 - a figure that is nearly triple the $5.2 billion Apple made from the App store in 2010.


“We estimate that Apple’s App Store… will remain the single best- selling across our forecast period”
