The App Store has been wildly successful for Apple. In a mere 7 days after launch of iPhone, the App Store experienced over 10M applications downloaded.
At the Let's Rock event on September 9, Steve Jobs announced yet another milestone for the App Store with over 3,000 applications available and over 100M downloads.
The App Store is also developer friendly as the App Store is seeing the addition of approximately 500 new applications per week added to the library.
Additionally, as Apple pushes for 18M iPhones shipped worldwide in 2008 as well as several millions more of iPod Touch, it is anticipated that the number of downloaded applications will continue rise at a faster pace.
The prediction is that Apple App Store will see at least 1,000,000,000 downloads by MacWorld Expo 2009.

David, we need to rework this so that it is not a direct lift from the Apple press release. You can take a stab at it, or I can rework from scratch. Obviously if I do it, it wouldn't justify the 25k reward.
@Eric, revised.
