Appsfire figures that most Apps aren't very successful

With the App Store now holding over 100,000 apps, one would figure that only a few would enjoy the type of success that the big guys get.  Appsfire's agrees and has some actual numbers on what happens along the looooong tail: Only 5 applications are on half of all iPhones/iPod Touch devices (FaceBook, AIM, Google?) The 1000th ranked app, which is the top 1%, is installed on "only" 1.76% of iPhones/ iPod touches.  If there are 50 million devices out there, that is almost a million installations so that is still significant. After 20,000, the apps have almost no installations. Meaning 80% of apps never get any sort of popularity.
