As The App Store Turns 1*

Apple’s App Store turns one year old this Saturday. Officially it was opened on July 11 2008 along with the launch of iPhone OS 2.0, MobileMe, and iPhone 3G.
In one year, Apple’s App Store for iPhone OS devices has amassed more than 50 thousand apps, more than a billion downloads, shot independent developers to prominence, help took Twitter mainstream with the dozens of Twitter iPhone apps, gave us this amazing visualization at this year’s WWDC, and spurns imitations from other mobile platform vendors
In celebration of this anniversary, Apple has put together a list of their 12 favorite apps and games.
Happy Birthday App Store!
