Mon Jun 14 2010, 16:54 PM

Growth of the iPad apps library is outpacing the original iPhone App Store, having hit 10,000 apps in two months compared with five months it took the original store to hit the same milestone in 2008. The figures show that the number of iPad apps has doubled in just six weeks, with developers now adding more than 1,000 apps every week. If this rate continues, numbers could double again by August and hit 35,000 by the end of the year.

Games currently make up more than a fifth of the iPad app library with more than 2,100 available. Books apps are also popular, with 1,150 available, followed by education apps and entertainment apps. Some 78% of iPad-specific titles are paid apps, slightly higher than the 75% of paid apps for the iPhone.
