In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Apple CEO Steve Jobs explains the iPhone App Store’s profound success, and how he has never seen anything like it for software in his career.
The article reports that the iTunes App Store has delivered more than 60 million downloads to customers during the first month of its existence. These are once again, staggering numbers.
Steve Jobs goes on to explain how he has never seen anything like this before in his career for software. He clarifies that although most of the applications/downloads from the App Store are free, Apple has done an average of $1 million a day in sales from the software store.
“The thing’s going to crest a half billion soon,” Jobs continued.
Explaining the much reported about “Remote iPhone App Kill Switch,” Jobs clarified “hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull.”
