... but lack the technical know-how, your solution has arrived.

Top of the Apps
Digital Daily —
Since its July debut some 10,000 iPhone applications have been released to Apple’s App Store and 9,887 of them are still available for purchase.
10,000 apps. An impressively broad ecosystem for just under five months of development. Apple’s (AAPL) year-end list of Top App Store Downloads for 2008, then, is both handy and timely (Click on the image below to see the top 10 paid and free apps).

But a year ago, Apple bragged about the App Store being hit for ten million apps during its first three days of operation. That works out to roughly three million downloads per day for each of the store’s first few days. A year later, the overall rate is four million. It’s growth, but it’s not a whole lot of growth. ...
