Palm Pre App Catalog Has 1,000,000 Downloads So Far

According to a new survey out today, just 18 days after the launch of the Palm Pre and am unofficial report of 150,000+ units sold, Palm reached a milestone with the Palm Pre App Catalog by achieving it's 1,000,000 download. This is fairly impressive considering the Palm Pre was launched on Sprint, which is still the number 3 carrier in the United States, less than 30 total applications were available at the time of launch and according to Medialets in a statement:

"still comparing at the 1 million mark, the average Palm Pre user had downloaded 26x the number of apps that iPhone users had, and the average app in the App Catalog experienced 16x the number of downloads that apps in the App Store had experienced."

Not bad at all. Now all Palm has to do is get the SDK released so the homebrew devs can have a chance to drop some real innovation for Palm's webOS.
