Not such a long time ago and not that far far away… App Store Wars [INFOGRAPHIC]

The team at WebpageFX have compiled a heap of statistics pertaining to the competitive nature of of today’s smartphone app stores and how they vie for dominance in a crowded smartphone market.

As you’ll see this includes all the big hitters such as the App Store, Android Market, Blackberry App World and Nokia, Palm and Windows Phone 7′s application directories as well.

Well there’s a bunch of interesting information but what we found most interesting is that the revenue generated from 2010′s total app sales could afford enough iPhone 4′s to stack the height of the Empire State building 6700 times, just in case you were wondering.

Now, let’s get on with the more important facts.

To think, by the end of this year alone, total app sales will have almost tripled what last year equalled is truly a staggering figure and reinforces just how much power mobile apps garner in today’s global economy.
