10,000 apps and going strong

148Apps (a terrific iPhone apps site, by the way) reports that’s there are now 10,000 applications in the iPhone Apps store.

To celebrate, they’ve build an “icon wall” representing every app, which must’ve taken some doing!

This is quite an achievement for Apple and all the developers out there. One can only imagine how many there will be in another 12 months, although how many are actually worth installing is another matter.

Linux on the iPhone!

iPhone Atlas reports that “A group of developers, led by someone using the handle “planetbeing,” have produced a method to load Linux 2.6’s kernel to the iPhone.”.

I’m not quite sure of the appeal of this just yet, apart from the “it can be done” challenge, but it may be something keep an eye on once they get drivers issues etc resolved.
