These are bogus numbers. I'm continually getting hit to "upgrade" apps that are already at the most recent version. You have to "upgrade" it to get the download number off the App icon. Until Apple releases numbers (and their 1Q 09 numbers don't support close to this) they are using sketchy accounting at best. You need to get a life then.

I doubt that. I guess the numbers must be closely the same. P.S. Go to Pikaba.com and try to win a free iPhone 3g if you still don't have one: http://www.pikaba.com/c/ContestRules.aspx?m Did they count re-downloads because of apps updates or crashes? I doubt that.

I have one - and it's the crappiest phone I've ever owned. Awesome at sms, web and email - crap phone. Can't hear the damn thing ring even on the highest volume. Just crashed 10 minutes ago when I was on a call (2.1 software) and wouldn't comeback for about 5 minutes. I've owned tons of apple gear and this thing is half a turd. After 2.1 upgrade, exisiting apps that didn't crash now do or won't even start. wow. not surprised that the iPhone is succeeding at everything except being a phone.
