Samsung has revealed further details on metrics within its own app store, just days after it touted the store’s first anniversary. According to a Dow Jones Newswires report, the South Korean vendor’s online market called Samsung Apps currently has 4,000 apps available, and the company aims to hit at least 10,000 by the end of the year. Kwon Kang-hyun, VP of Samsung’s content service team, noted that this target is dependent upon increasing the number of phones available that support its proprietary operating system, bada.

On Monday Samsung marked the first anniversary of its Samsung Apps store by announcing that it is now available in 109 countries. First launched in September 2009 in “select European and Asian countries”, the company said the store has been growing “at a rapid pace, riding on the successful global launch of the Samsung Wave smartphone.” It also said that since the launch of Wave in June 2010 (the first smartphone based on Samsung’s own bada platform), more than 14 million bada apps have been downloaded from the store.
