Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, has told the Wall Street Journal that the company’s App Store is a towering success, with over 60 million downloaded applications in its first month.

Money bags Steve, didn’t let us know details on the split between paid and free apps, but did let it be known that from the 60 million downloads, the company banked a staggering $30 million in revenue.

Its fair to say a few of the developers will be doing a ‘Scrooge McDuck’ and swimming around in a pool full of money when you consider Sega’s ‘Super Monkey Ball’, and Vivendi’s ‘Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D’ have been sitting at the top of the download chart for the whole month.

In the meantime, Jobs confirmed the existence of a ‘kill switch’ in the iPhone, enabling Apple to zap “malicious” applications remotely.
