Hot App News – Apple’s 1 billionth App download
Finally, Apple has done it, and achieved the unfathomable feat of the completion of 1 billion downloads from the App Store. This has been the hottest news in the line up of app news, and it was indeed even hotter news for the 13 year old Connor Mulcahey, who happened to be the winner of Apple’s contest.
Connor downloaded the Bump for his iPhone casually, and he had no clues that this simple application will be accompanied by a sizzling a $10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod Touch, the Time Capsule, and a Mac Book Pro!
It was just like a dream for the 13 year old chap, who wanted to swap his contacts between two iPhones with the help of the Bump app, and he downloaded it from Apple iTunes App Store. While doing so, he became the 1 billionth downloader of the App Store, and was rewarded handsomely.
Sure thing, he can now buy all the cool apps that he always wanted to. Apart from these scintillating rewards, Connor’s name has been flashed on almost millions of websites featuring app news, including the Apple’s official site.
Who would have thought that the winner of this content could be a 13 year old teen like Connor, but believe it or not, that’s the reality!
The App store has been the spotlight of the coolest app news, but the 1 billionth download was indeed some hot news, which has taken the pride of the Apple Inc to the next level.
Apple has outsmarted almost everyone in the world of apps, and not even Blackberry has been able to keep in pace with Apple in the app news limelight. While Apple iPods have been unrivalled for quite sometime, Microsoft decided to combat them with the Zune HD, Blackberry launched the Blackberry App World, to grab the limelight of app news.
However, none of them could really succeed to match the success of the App Store, the Apple iPods and the iPhone 3G till date. Looking at the current topics of discussion of latest app news, one can easily predict that Apple will be the ultimate winner for the next few months as well, not to mention the added misery of delay of launch of the Blackberry/RIM’s OS .141 update.
