Apple’s app approval team is still hard at work approving and rejecting iPad apps coming from developers eager to get in early. In the App Store is more than 3100 iPad apps and counting, according to Mobclix.
Here’s the breakdown of the current iPad apps: About 80 percent/2523 iPad apps are paid apps. 20 percent of them which are free, coming to 599 apps. Most of the apps are games, taking up 942 of the 3,100+ iPad apps. The average price of the apps is $4.99. Most of the books apps are paid.
Which iPad app is your favorite?
Though there may still be a day or two before the official iPad launch on Saturday, the about 2000 for-iPad apps are now available for browsing and download from the App Store (Link opens iTunes). From the ABC Player to Twitteriffic, you can start building on your apps collection and sync it through iTunes when you get your hands on an iPad.
As expected, the majority of the iPad apps are pricier than its iPhone counterpart and quite larger in size as well.

Apparently, App Annie has some early screenshots of the “actual iPad feed for the app store”, showing some of the iPad Apps that will be available for download at launch.
And it appears that the “HD” moniker is not used by all iPad-only games. To distinguish apps as only for iPad, the early iPad app developers are using monikers like: for iPad, Elite, XL, HD, Deluxe, Real, etc.
The leaked screenshots also revealed how early developers are pricing their iPad Edition apps vs their iPhone/iPod Touch counterparts. In most cases, the prices of the iPad-only apps are bumped up from the iPhone pricing, which came as no surprise at all.
