There's no denying the popularity of Apple's growing iPhone/iPod Touch platform, especially for those helping drive download sales and titles to record-breaking numbers. Having opened its digital doors in July of 2008, the App Store is about to celebrate its one billionth downloaded App soon, and they're giving away the good stuff.
For those of you keeping track, that's a whopping 3X faster than it took the company to distribute one billion songs through iTunes. Of course, there is the distinction between "downloaded" and "sold", but one billion is still an impressive number (unless you're a member of Congress).
Helping fuel this downloading fury of applications are games, of which Apple recently revealed make up a staggering 70% of all paid application sales. As the inevitable countdown towards the magic BILLION takes place, Apple has unveiled their own celebration, and is literally giving away the good stuff. From the official site:
As of today, nearly one billion apps have been downloaded around the globe. So we just want to say thanks - a billion. Download an app and you'll automatically get the chance to win a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro. Just go to the iTunes Store, browse the App Store, and download your best app yet.
That's literally bushells of goodness for those seeking Apple products, and considering its free to enter (just download an App), those of you with Apple iPhone/iPod Touch platforms have probably already entered in the content without realizing it. For everyone else, time to boot up iTunes and download a few prizes into your life.
