IPhone apps near billion mark

Not much info in this piece. I'm surprised they didn't even mark any surprise at how fast that number was (or, I should say, will be) reached compared to songs. It took less than one year to reach that number of app downloads when it took several years for songs. That's pretty crazy.

Note also, that the celebration give-away from Apple is pretty nice: http://www.apple.com/itunes/billion-app-countdown/ A 17" MBP, $10,000 iTMS gift card, a Time Capsule and an iPod Touch...

That should read: downloaded apps

Wow, imagine all those calculators and fart programs.
