Apple has put up a webpage to countdown the 1 billionth iPhone app downloaded from the App Store. To celebrate this significant milestone, Apple will be giving away prizes such as a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro.

The number of iPhone apps has crossed the 33,000 mark but since Apple has removed, rejected or banned iPhone apps from the App Store for reasons such as copyright issues, duplicating functionality, offering tethering functionality, based on limited utility, content or materials found objectionable, just a ridiculous app etc, the active iPhone apps is just above 31,500 (and counting) as per AppShopper.
The approaching milestone of 1 billion iPhone apps downloaded reveals some interesting details:
If you purchase all the iPhone apps from the App Store, it would cost you $87,856.17.
The most popular price for an iPhone app is still $0.99. There are 14,159 iPhone apps available at that price range. If you had thought it would be free apps then it is still a distant second with 7,863 iPhone apps available for free.
The average cost of an iPhone app is $2.63 including free apps which indicates that the average cost is slowly coming down. The average cost was $2.79 when the App Store had crossed the 25000 mark, it was $3.12 when the App Store had crossed the 10,000 mark.
The number of the iPhone apps that are being added every month to the App Store is increasing steadily. 3,808 iPhone apps were added in Dec 2008, 4,843 added in Jan 2009, 5,549 iPhone apps in Feb 2009 and a massive 6,719 iPhone Apps in Mar 2009.
iPhone games is the most popular category of iPhone apps with 6,660 and Weather is the least popular category with 170 iPhone apps.

AT&T has confirmed that contract-free iPhone 3Gs will be coming to the market next Thursday! That’s awesome knews for those who can’t afford to be tied down to a contract just to get an iPhone!
Each phone will cost $400 more than their subsidized versions at $599 for the 8GB and $699 for the 16GB. The phones will still remain locked to AT&T and will require the standard iPhone data plan.

Most point out this move as an indication of the iPhone 3G’s end of service as the most recent version of the iPhone.
AT&T will begin offering “no commitment” pricing on the iPhone 3G beginning on March 26, without any service contract requirement, according to a report leaking an internal company training memo.
The report, posted by Boy Genius, says that AT&T will only offer the iPhone 3G at its “no commit” price of $599 for the 8GB version or $699 for the 16GB model to existing customers, and limit them to one unit each at that price.
However, the document also notes that AT&T has no way of tracking if the user has already bought a unit at the no commit price within the company’s billing system, although AT&T retail stores “can see the transaction through OPUS [AT&T's point of sale system] if the device was purchased through AT&T COR [a company-operated retail store].”
The document says “AT&T is restricting the No-Commit price to existing customers who wish to add a line, purchase as a gift, or perform and [sic] upgrade and are not eligible for the Qualified or Early upgrade price.”
“Qualified pricing” refers to the standard $199/$299 price of the iPhone 3G when obtained with a two year contract commitment. For AT&T users who recently received a contract subsidized phone of any kind, AT&T charges an “Early Upgrade price” that is $200 more than the iPhone 3G’s qualified price: $399/$499. It also requires a two year contract extension.
The no-committment iPhone models from AT&T incur a device activation fee when used with AT&T’s service, and also require a data plan, although device activation is not required at the point of sale.
The new “no-commit” sales program appears to be an effort to push out remaining iPhone 3G inventory prior to the launch of the next iPhone, due sometime this summer. Last year, Apple similarly allowed the existing inventory of iPhones to dry up to the point where almost no iPhones were left for several weeks prior to the launch of iPhone 3G.
Other iPhone 3G partners are similarly discounting iPhone sales to move inventory, which has resulted in various dire rumors about the iPhone’s prospects, not unlike last year when certain pundits jumped all over “falling sales” of the original iPhone during the months when inventory levels dried up completely.

Cycorder is the newest iPhone Video software from Jay Freeman, creator of Cydia and Winterboard. Unlike Dream Catchers iPhone Video Recorder, Cycorder is FREE, and seems to record with slighter better quality. I am not sure if it’s because of the difference in compression or the encoding, but others besides myself have noticed and improvement. Here is a sample Video.
Here is a sample Video from Jay Freeman, as you can see the quality is pretty good.
Cycorder is FREE and available for your 2.0 iPhone (and 3G) from Cydia on your Jailbreaked iPhone. Great work Jay!
Enjoy and let us know what you think!
