Its official, in just nine months after launching the revolutionary Apple App Store, the 1 billion downloads mark has been met.
Connor Mulcahey, a thirteen year old from Weston, CT, downloaded the one billionth app, Bump, a free contact swapping app created by Bump Technologies.
The teenager became the grand prize winner of Apple’s one billion app countdown contest and will receive a $10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro.
As we spoke about last week when facebook hit 100 million users, the numbers the Internet can hit are just truly staggering.
If you have the right product or service, the numbers of customers you can reach are no longer measured in the thousands and tens of thousands, but in the hundreds of millions and now billions.
Certainly the reach of the Internet is unprecedented in world history.
History is being made.
I have been changing my cell every 6 month these last 10 years…
I stopped with the iPhone.
Everyone that try it adopt it.
I bet within 2 years maximum it has most of the phone market.
Agree with you.
Once Apple gets a carrier in China to pick up the iphone (its one of the markets it doesn’t have right now) its a whole new ballgame
There is mobile phone, and then there is the iphone. It is in a class all by itself.
