Apple's world-changing App Store celebrates its fifth year in existence today, and Apple is giving away a bunch of apps to celebrate.
There are 10 apps up for grabs, including awesome games Infinity Blade 2 and Superborthers: Sword and Sorcery EP, and utilities Traktor DJ and How to Cook Everything. Head over to iTunes for the full list.
It is really amazing to think that the apps ecosystem which many of us use daily has only been a part of our lives for five short years. The Apple store now has over 900,000 apps and the cumulative revenue for mobile app stores is reported to be US$8-billion. That's a lot of $0.99 app purchases.
But number-crunching aside, think of the impact the world of apps has had on your life. Nine-out-of-ten questions each day can and will be answered by an app in one way or another. From the weather, to the news, to the food we eat, to the time we sleep and wake again, apps are a big pat of modern life in the Western world.
So, three cheers to Apple's App Store, then get cracking on those free app downloads.
