It seems like just the other day that the App Store hit 200,000 apps, but the juggernaut just never stops, and sometime over the weekend, Apple rolled the speedometer over to 300k.

The numbers aren’t official yet, but according to Mobclix, their data shows that Apple added the 300,000th app to the App Store sometime on Saturday.

The App Store is clearly picking up steam: it was just August 28th that Apple crossed the 250,000 apps barrier. That’s over 1,000 apps being approved by the App Store review team every day.

Overall, as of writing, there are more than 300,975 apps in the App Store, including 206,828 paid apps and 94,147 free ones. Android’s slowly but surely catching up, but does Microsoft have any hope of closing that sort of gap? I doubt it.
