Following yesterday’s post on the 10,000-app milestone for Apple’s App Store, the company today came out with its own list of the most downloaded apps of the year.

It divided these into categories like top free apps, top paid apps, top games, entertainment, social networking, etc. Amid the most popular ones, there are lots of good location-based apps in the mix, including Urbanspoon and Loopt.

The top free and paid apps are listed below, and the rest of the categories can be seen by going to the app store in iTunes (also listed here).
