Yes, it's almost there!! Apple is about to hit the 25 billion downloads milestone for its App Store. You can view the countdown here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/25-billion-app-countdown/

The 25-billionth person to download an app from the Store has a chance to win 10 000$ in App Store gift cards :D

I'm certainly going to try to be that person, how about you? :lol:

Good luck to all :D

I've read that the Countdown (Countup) is counting automatically, not the actual amount of apps downloaded.

I think its counting downloads, not automatically. Why would Apple do anything else?

Well, when you refresh after a while, the numbers have changed considerably. I'm guessing the downloads are happening too fast for the widget to count them precisely. But I'm sure Apple is not faking the numbers :lol:
