A hip and 'appening year.
It's hard to fathom how iPhone and iPod Touch users ever survived without it, but Apple's all-conquering App Store is celebrating its first birthday this weekend. So, Happy Birthday!
The journey began when Apple opened its doors to third party developers with the SDK launched around the time of the iPhone 3G. In just 12 short months the store has gone from 8,000 initial apps to a monumental 56,000 active apps, notching up a billion downloads in the process.
What's even more astonishing is the ability to almost completely mange one's life through the App Store, with transport, GPS, fitness, finance, gaming and social networking apps constantly coming to our rescue.
