Apple has made it official- there are now 100,000 apps in the App Store. That’s pretty amazing considering the fact that Apple didn’t even want 3rd party apps at first. But less than a year and a half later, the store is 100,000 strong and growing. Sure a lot of them are ebooks, fart apps and general crApp apps, but there are also tons of gems.

For example, I left the office last night at 9:15pm and wanted to catch information on who my state’s next governor would be. A quick search and I had downloaded the official NPR app and the app from the Huffington Post.

Yup, with over 100,000 apps, there really is an app for just about everything.
