148Apps, which tracks and reviews iPhone Apps, says 10,000 applications have now been released on the iPhone App store (the site is named after the fact that you can add up to 148 applications to an iPhone or iPod touch).  A tribute page shows a mini icon for every application. And it also gives some interesting data. About 24% of apps are free; 35% cost $.99. The average cost is $3.12, including free apps. About 34% are games or entertainment, and there are 49 weather related apps for the iPhone despite the fact that a weather app is built in.

The deal to combine Clearwire and Sprint’s mobile WiMax internet network officially closed on Friday, clearing the way for the build out of the nation’s first true WiMax wireless broadband network. Intel, Google, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks have collectively invested $3.2 billion in the new company, which will retain the Clearwire name and be based in Kirkland, WA.
