Countdown begins: Apple Apps to reach 25 bn mark

As Apple counts down to its 25 billion app downloads, it also gives one lucky person a chance to celebrate the landmark with them. If you visit the Apple's official website, you can see a clock ticking to the 25 billion mark and a message to the users: "As of today, nearly 25

billion apps have been downloaded worldwide. Which is almost as amazing as the apps themselves. So we want to say thanks. Download the 25 billionth app, and you could win a US$10,000 App Store Gift Card. Just visit the App Store and download your best app yet." But before you drift into day-dreams about what all you could buy with all that money, here's a wake-up call - Apple is only allowing 25 'entries' into its app contest per day.
So what are you waiting for, just check out our slideshow of the most awesome Apple Apps, and hit the download button. You might even turn out to be the lucky winner of $10, 000!

The much-awaited day has come almost a year after Apple hit the 10bn landmark, according to pcmag.com, "Assuming the 25 billionth app download hits in February, that means that Apple will have added a whopping 15 billion apps to its count between now and just over one year ago - Apple's 10 billionth app was downloaded in January of 2011, and it took the company until July of 2011 to ramp up to 15 billion app downloads."
