Apple now say that over 500 million applications have been downloaded from the iTines store. And there are over 15,000 different apps on the store. Of course a large portion are free and the other range from 99 cents to a few dollars. Apple keeps 30% of revenue. This could be a major source of revenue as the store continues to expand and users become more famillar in paying for apps.

Hardly worth the price of the ticket.
