148Apps reports a little milestone for Apple. over the weekend the iTunes App store reached over 250,000 applications for use on the iPad but the vast majority for use on the iPhone and iPod Touch. With more devices planned from Apple, like the next generation iPod Touch and iTV, an explosion of Applications is likely to take place.
It’s also worth mentioning that a significant amount of apps are denied for inclusion in the app store, for unknown reasons. If those denied applications were counted, along with applications currently in queue, the number would be doubled if not tripled. Steve Jobs will likely mention the news at Apple’s press event on Wednesday.
