Apple has announced that it has sold over 50 million iPhone and iPod Touch devices, which Apple started selling just a little more than two years ago.
The App Store, which itself is less than 15 months old, has distributed over two billion downloads from a selection of 85,000 apps. This second billion comes only five months after the first billion downloads, indicating a rapidly accelerating pace. There is no data on how many of these downloads are paid and how many are free, but 65,000 of the available titles are paid titles.
