I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to determine the number of apps in an iTunes app store category?

In particular, I'm interested in the games categories since there are several of them and I'm only allowed to be in 2. Need to pick my choices wisely...

Seems like there might be a website somewhere that has this data?

You can find this data manually in iTunes on your mac. iTunes > App Store > Games, then to get to a specific category, scroll down, and on the lower right will be 'More Games'. Choose a category from here, e.g. 'Strategy'. Then scroll down till you see 'All Strategy iPhone Apps'. Look right and you'll see 1-24 of 4125.

I haven't looked myself, but you may also be able to retrieve this data through the iTunes App Store Affiliate API.
