LA Times Reports on App Milestone

In light of this series by Aggie Villaneuva, I thought I'd pop in with this supporting news: LA Times says "Apple Inc. reached yet another milestone: More than 25 billion apps downloaded for use on iPhones, iPads and other devices."  They thanks their supporters with a banner on their Web site: It said, "A billion thanks. 25 times over. The App Store has reached 25 billion downloads. Thanks for getting us there." 

Now is that great marketing or what?

Oh, yeah. They also held a countdown promotion beginning on Feb 13 and awarded a $10,000 gift certificate to the customer who downloaded the app that hit that 25 billion mark.

More support for the importance of apps in the same article: Google  sold 10 billion in apps for its Android market. They celebrated by offering selected apps for 10 cents for a limited time.

Seems apps are on a roll, Aggie!
