Silicon Alley Insider recently posted a new graph detailing how all the app stores stand against each other, in what some might call a race but it looks like Apple has a lead that may never be beat.

The real surprising numbers are in that it only took Apple 10 months to add 120,000 apps that that does not even include the iPad App Store that I am sure will add even more cross over apps. Blackberry came in third with 5,000 apps and Palm in last with only 2,000 apps.Read More
