Even with ungrepping libs it’s well over 2000 just for extras-devel. But as said, it’s difficult to pour package data into app numbers. For example, Easy Debian (with it’s N thousand packages) counts as ONE application. Now compare that with one app on, say, the iPhone that just acts as a custom RSS reader or web front-end for www.foo.com
