There are lots of applications available in the Apple App Store. But a huge number of those items are discrete book or game titles, not applications. And those most applications downloaded from the App Store are of the "free" sort, about 75 percent of the books and games are "for fee" downloads.
In fact, "books" are the biggest category in the store, followed by games.
The App Store is an awful lot like iTunes, it appears: a distribution mechanism for content.
