Apple’s App Store turns 1
While the official 1-year anniversary of the App Store isn’t until Saturday, Apple apparently decided to start the celebration early. A new dedicated page headed with the colorful banner seen above appeared in iTunes this morning, proudly proclaiming that the App Store’s first birthday is upon us. So how is Apple celebrating this momentous occasion? By trying to get you to buy more apps, duh. Apple’s anniversary page is littered with Apple’s “favorite apps and games” alongside buy links to make sure they’re all nice and easy to snag. Shamelessness aside, there’s really no question that the advent of the App Store is among a handful of game-changing events that have taken place over the past few years. Over 56,000 apps… Well over a billion downloads… Every major competitor doing its best to mimic the offering… Yeah, it’s safe to say the App Store has definitely left its mark on the wireless industry.

Happy Birthday, I love the app store, but thats because I’m a video game junky. Thats what the iPod touch is for though.
and only 1042 fart apps later… happy birthday!
Congrats Apple, now drop ATT and you can REALLY Soar!
Congratulations. Pretty much the only credible reason for purchasing an iphone or ipod touch.
Had high hopes for appworld, but it seems like rim isn’t doing anything with it
AppStore makes it easy to find apps and there are some nice extensions for it

@Galen20K,
Well put about AT
Pretty much the only reason I got the iPhone 3G last year, I wasn’t really impressed with the original iPhone when it came out.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY APP STORE
You’ve change the wireless industry forever!

More porn apps please!
Apple shouldn’t rest on its laurels. The customer really needs better ways to separate the wheat from the chaff of apps. Apple should be working on improving the App store experience for its users.
The App Store spawned App World, Nokia’s store and App Catalog, thank you Apple
agreed. lose At&T and watch that number take off.
