They have an app for that! The Apple App Store probably has an app for most anything, and if they don’t now, they will next week. The number of apps available has topped 250,000—and keeps rising.

If it seems like you’re hearing about a new app for iPad or iPhone every few minutes, you are. 148Apps.biz reports the number of apps in the Apple Apps Store hit 250,000 on Friday, two years and 49 days after the store opened following the release of the first generation iPhone in June, 2007. AppShopper.com places today’s total at 253,777 apps, including 24,334 for the iPad, from 50,304 publishers. It’s estimated that 70% of the total are paid apps. This mind-boggling array of apps gives the iPad a major advantage over the competing tablets coming in the next few months. Who wants a tablet that won’t run the apps you need?
