“Someone must have lit a fire under Apple’s App Store review staff last week,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.
“Having drifted along for much of September, approving as few as 58 new apps on a single day, the staff green lighted ‘an avalance [sic] of apps’ on Friday according to AppShopper.com,” Elmer-DeWitt reports. “A total of 1,394 new applications were approved that day, 302 of them games.”
Elmer-DeWitt reports, “AppShopper doesn’t say whether Friday’s haul set a new record, although that seems likely. The previous high over the previous two months was 947, set on July 30… As of Tuesday morning, there were 81,161 active applications available on the U.S. portion of the App Store, according to 148Apps.biz.”

MacDailyNews Take: 1,394? What was it, FireWire’s birthday?
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Readers “Fred Mertz” and “Edward Weber” for the heads up.]
I love the MDN take!
@MDN Take
“… Aw c’mon B-A-B-Y, it’s my Birthday!”
“avalance”?
I assume that doesn’t include updates, but I had a bunch of them Friday, also. Maybe we’re finally seeing a fix to the whole App Store process.
1394 = Firewire!
Coincidence?

That’s EXACTLY what I thought… I was like, “Coincidence? I think not!”
I heard someone developed an app for reviewing apps. Seems to have really speeded things up.
Is there anybody left still compulsively checking new apps?
Seems like months ago that would have got a person snowed under.
My app is going on 7 weeks for approval. Granted at 4 weeks I was dinged for a bad keyword. I guess I had to go to the back of the line and start over.
Possibly the most “obscure” MDN take, ever… ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
I find it strange this has made the news…
