This figure shows:

• Number of applications in 31 major application stores at the end of June 2010.
  
• Number of months since launch of the store.
  
• Compares stores' performance based on cumulative number of applications in relation to the age of the store.
  
• Shows which stores performed better or worse than the market average.
