If you think back to the first year of the iPhone, when the OS was only identified as iPhone OS and Steve Jobs claimed web apps were perfectly adequate, it's amazing that Apple just concluded their "Ten Billion App Countdown" promotion. This means a whopping 10 billion app downloads have coursed through the mighty veins of iTunes (as opposed to the Mac App Store, which could take a bit longer to reach this milestone). I can count myself responsible for over 3,000 of these downloads (yes, really), so perhaps it's not as astonishing as it seems when you consider how many iOS devices are now out there running around.
How many apps have you downloaded?
Update: The Loop reports the winner is Gail Davis of Orpington, Kent, UK who downloaded Paper Glider. One in ten billion!
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
