Does Windows Phone 7 already have more apps than Blackberry?

On two occasions now, including yesterday at WPC 11 Microsoft said Windows Phone 7 already has more apps than RIM’s Blackberry OS, despite the 18 month head start.

Just adding up the numbers on RIM’s App World website, with 28305 apps+ games and 9462 themes, it seems RIM still has the upper hand over the 24352 apps in Marketplace. 

However of the 28305 apps in App World 11681 are ebooks, a full 41%.  Only 14% of the apps in Marketplace are ebooks.

As can be seen from the graph, in nearly every other category except business and music and audio apps Windows Phone 7 has nearly the same or more apps. 

It is likely in the next two months, excluding themes, the absolute number of Windows Phone 7 apps will exceed the number of Blackberry apps, but even now it is probably accurate to say you can find more apps in Marketplace than App World.
