Apple reached another milestone this saturday with their highly successful App Store: 10 billion downloads.
Download number 10,000,000,000 was a free app called Paper Glider and was downloaded by a british woman by the name of Gail Davis who shortly after received a call from Apple, telling her she won a gift certificate worth $10,000. For use in iTunes Store, of course… Come on Apple, at least let her use it an Apple Store? 🙂
Apple’s App Store has over 300,000 apps with around 20 million apps downloaded daily.
Its amazing how fast the app store grows.
Very impressive. It’s funny how Apple consistently puts out numbers to assure us all how well they are doing lol.
I’m not sure if I could find $10,000 worth of Apps and music! I wonder if Android or any other marketplace really has a chance to catch up with Apple, unlikely I suspect
I love it. $10,000 to buy music and apps? It’s either Apple’s version of a “lifetime supply of” prize, or it’s fake money that’s easy to give away because they know there’s no way she could ever spend it all.
But still, that’s a pretty awesome number. Ten billion!

Wow, that was cool. Congrats to the winner and to Apple as well.
