From Silicon Alley_insider

Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone and iPod touch customers have downloaded some 300 million software apps since Apple started selling them in July. We estimate that Apple has booked $50 million to $100 million in revenue so from those sales.

So my comment is one way or the other its a growing number. Think of “Touch” as an evolving platform for many products now. Not just for iPods, or iPhones, but hand held gaming, netbooks, etc…its the iTunes model gone bonkers…it’s possible when all this recession smoke clears Apple will own the internet device world.
