Apple gives prizes as tally nears 1 billion Apps served
Apple Inc. is currently "counting up" to a major milestone of one billion applications downloaded by iPhone and iPod Touch users from the App Store. It's hard to phantom that iPod and iPhone users have actually managed to download such a large amount of applications. To celebrate, Apple is giving away prizes in a contest to users who download Apps from the store before the tally crosses the 1 billion line.

At time of writing, the App Store is showing a total of 928,603,058 downloads overall, but it has been rising fast today. When you download an App, you are automatically entered for a chance to win $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule and a MacBook Pro. You can enter up to 25 times per day.

    Sounds like those retarded cellphone ads on TV, "Give us your money and we'll give you a chance to win even more after we make a ton of profit :D"
