Plenty of room for non-games in top iPhone spots

Looking today at the top 100 grossing apps for the iPhone. You can see them yourself here. (Will launch iTunes.)

Of the top 100, 68 are games. 32 are various productivity or travel helping apps, including smattering of adult stuff and one recipe app. (Well done, Jamie!). Plenty of room for interesting things that aren’t games in the top 100! I wonder how the line up will change this time next year.

Of course this list is for top grossing apps — so those expensive GPS apps skew their numbers. If we look at the list for top paid apps, there is a larger proportion of low-priced games.

Update Oct 27: Google’s app store. Opportunity to catch the wave early? I don’t underestimate Google. And with their mutual board members leaving each other’s boards, they are clearly getting closer to a head to head each day. I just want to make sure that I’m on the winning side! And sorry, that won’t be Palm.
