Apple Pre-Celebrates App Store’s First Birthday
Posted in: Apple, iPhone, Phones, Software, Today's Chili
Apple’s hugely successful iPhone application store is nearing its first birthday, and the company is already pre-celebrating with a special page in the iTunes Store.
Titled “The App Store Turns 1,” the section includes a list of Apple’s favorite applications [iTunes Link] and games since the App Store’s July 11 launch (earlier if you count the leaks of the iPhone 2.0 OS prior to its official launch date). Some of our favorite apps from the list include the IM utility BeeJive, the music app Ocarina and the e-book reader Stanza. Gaming titles highlighted include life-simulator The Sims 3, the highly addictive strategy game Flight Control and the vastly popular rhythm game Tap Tap Revenge.
The App Store features over 50,000 downloadable applications to date, according to Apple. The company also recently celebrated hitting a milestone of one billion applications downloaded.
Any of your favorites make it to the list?
