It's not the number that matters, it's the quality of the apps.
There's a lot of great ones and a ton of worthless apps. that I woldn't waste the space installing.
Never counted or checked I guess.....
I wouldn't count either, lol. I just checked under Settings, General, About, Applications, and it says I have 124 loaded on my iPad 2, which is the one I have with me now. I have about the same on iPad 1 and 4 at home.
