Default Is app growth unsustainable?

I ask this, because the Appl chart showing app development is an exponential curve... curves like this in nature are unsustanable.

I think its topping out.

Good thing there is nothing natural about technology

Yeah, eventually it will slow down, but with more and more devices going out and more and more apps everyday it's not going to "top out".

They will eventually (soonish?) restructure the appstore so that better apps (better rated maybe?) will get more exposure, and crappy - made in 1 hour apps will be easily distinguishable.

Overall volume of sales has will stabilize it's growth, but will probably still keep on growing.

Sounds like a reasonable prediction?
