Research firm Asymco is causing a stir with some pretty charts that appear to show that Apple's app downloads will overtake its music downloads by the end of this year. The company points out that it's taken just over two years for the App Store to reach 6.5 billion downloads – something it took five years for the iTunes Store to do. Asymco predicts that by the end of 2010, both stores will have reached 13 billion downloads. In its analysis of the charts, Appsfire makes a relevant point: many of those 6.5 billion app downloads are free – a different model to the paid music downloads on iTunes.Source:Asymco Source:Appsfire Blog
