Apple's App Store crosses the 1.5 billion download mark

Yes, it seems like only yesterday (or about 3 months ago) that Apple crossed a landmark -- 1 billion apps downloaded from its App Store -- and here we are again. Apple's just issued a press release stating that it's now seen another half a billion apps downloaded in about three months -- putting them over the 1.5 billion mark. Apple doesn't get all the kudos to themselves, though: after all, someone's been downloading The Moron Test. A lot.

They should just say "billions and billions served."

Honestly, not sure how most of these apps are even on the top 25, so many apps are just junk, and useless. Wish Apple would bring back the Free category like it had when AppStore first released. It's a paint digging through al these useless $0.99 apps, which have like 20 other multiples (there's gotta be a dating app for every ethnicity, an app for almost all the major colleges >.>)
