Apple hits 10 billion downloads at App Store
Apple has just hit the 10 billion mark with its iTunes App Store service.
A counter on the iTunes site hit the 10 billion mark around 10.30am GMT on Saturday 22 January. The identity of the winner was not made immediately available, but will be revealed on the site later. For now, Apple has posted a message reading, "Thank you. Ten billion times."
The company crosses the 10 billion download threshold just two and a half years after the store was formally launched for iPhone and iPod Touch users. Since then, the company has added apps for the iPad tablet to the store as well.
