The joy of the iPhone and iPod touch comes from the hundreds of thousands of apps that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, either from your PC or Mac, or while you’re out and about on the iPhone or iPod touch itself. Apple recently said that over 200 apps are downloaded every second from the App Store, totalling more than 6,500,000,000 downloads to date! While having thousands of apps to choose from makes the App Store a rich resource of multimedia content for your iPhone or iPod touch, it inevitably means that there’s plenty of poor apps out there as well as the really good ones.
