Apple’s App Store Turns 1
Can you believe it, it’s been almost a year since the Apple’s App Store was officially released to public! Apple’s iPhone App Store was officially launched on July 11, 2008. Many users got to see it before the launch date due to a leaked copy of the iPhone OS 2.0 firmware.
To celebrate the App Store’s first birthday, Apple has created a page in iTunes listing it’s favorite apps and favorite games. You can see the full list here (iTunes link).
The App Store has received over 1 billion downloads in just 9 months and currently has over 56,000 apps! It’s safe to say that the Apple’s App Store is currently the biggest mobile App Store.
Will App Store competitors such as Palm’s App Catalog, Blackberry’s App World, or Google’s Android Market ever be able to catch up? I doubt it, but it will be interesting to see how they progress.

Happy bday app store!
Wow good for apple… They celebrate by giving us a page of all there favorite (exspensive) apps. Maybe it would be nice for them to thank us for giving a years worth of business by giving us some free stuff.
The one who had the idea to make the AppStore (if it was not Steve) is sooo happy now!!
Happy bday!
Nice, I like the App Store. Though it’s a bit complicated to navigate through… But I don’t think that the other mobile App Stores will ever be able to catch up because Apple started first and, and this is the main point, it also works for iPods, which means mp3-players. And the other competitors do not have this feature…
yea the other app store will never catch up because apple is already a year in the game and the iphone is whats HOT at the momment
They should put out tap tap revolution for a week I’d be cool.
We made it happen and they thank us with old apps, Thank you so much..
