    If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Either first hand knowledge or information you have heard or read would be fine.

    I am doing market research and wonder how many application/game downloads are really occuring in the App Store/iTunes for iPhones/iPod Touch devices. I know how many total downloads they have (200 million), but any only concerned with Paid Apps/Games. So if anyone can answer these questions or share some light, thanks

    1) How many of the 200 million downloads are from paid apps
    2) Does anyone know how many paid downloads it takes to take the #1 spot daily, #10 spot, #25 spot, and #50 spot
    3) How many apps/games have you paid for, and how many free ones have you downloaded.


    Thanks again.

    The only people that can provide real answers to those questions are people who work for Apple

    Yeah, it is information between Apple and developers. Some data I've heard going around is that the top selling apps make a few thousand a day.
