You’ve probably see the official list of Top 10 iPhone and iPad apps 2010 released by Apple last week. The list is categorized by Top 10 Paid Apps, Top 10 Free Apps and Top 10 Grossing Apps for both iPhone and iPads. Unsurprisingly, the apps that make up the list is the household names such as Angry Birds, Facebook, Plants vs. Zombies, Doodle Jump, Cut The Rope, Skype, Fruit Ninja etc. You can check the full list at Mashable or TechCrunch websites. It’s interesting to point out that all Top 10 Paid iPhone Apps are games.
Looking at the list, I was interested to check them out in my iTunes and download whatever top apps that are missing from my iPhone. In iTunes Store, Apple had released the iTunes Rewind 2010 feature to showcase the top apps of 2010. However, clicking on each category of the top apps button presented me with different list from what I’ve seen from Mashable or TechCrunch websites.

My first guess is iTunes shows me the Top Paid Apps, Top Free Apps, and Top Grossing Apps 2010 in Malaysia only. If this is true, did iTunes shows a different top apps list for the other countries as well? And it didn’t say whether the list is for iPhone or iPad either. To be safe, I wouldn’t say whether it’s Top iPhone or Top iPad Apps here, just ‘Top Apps 2010 in iTunes Malaysia’. Here’s the list (in no particular order):
Top 10 Paid Apps 2010
Apart from Talking Carl and WhatsApp Messenger, all apps in Top Paid category are games and the prices are US0.99 cents. Only Plants vs. Zombies is priced at US2.99.

Top 10 Free Apps 2010
Malaysians are obsessed with Facebook, as proved by a recent report that Malaysians have the most friends in this number one social network platform. Hence it is not surprising to see this app makes up the Top 10 Free Apps list this year.
1. Facebook
2. Skype
3. Angry Birds Lite
4. Talking Tom Cat
5. Windows Live Messenger
6. Paper Toss
7. Coin Dozer

Top Grossing Apps 2010
I’m not sure why but it’s only nine apps listed in Top Grossing Apps. It’s interesting to see two European map/street navigation apps grossing in Malaysia. And the price of these two apps are not cheap either. The iGO app is US99.99 and NAVIGON is priced at US119.99. I wonder who bought the apps..?
1. Street Fighter IV
