With the passing days, Apple’s App Store has been racking up downloads on applications, and the pace has been growing. Now Apple turned their 1 billionth download into a celebration.

As the downloads were picking up speed and getting closer to the billion, Apple put up a download counter on their site. They also displayed the counter in the App Store itself; taking place of one of the featured applications’ spots.

On April 23rd at around 5 P.M. EST, the counter reached a billion and the celebration begun. Of course for Apple, celebration means giveaway. So, they gave a $10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule and a MacBook Pro to the one billionth downloader, who just happens to be Connor Mulcahey, age 13, of Weston, CT. I could do for just one of those. Congrats, Connor!

And so now Apple “thanks us a billion” from their growing success: the App Store, which in nine months, got over 1 billion application downloads.
