The countdown to Apple's 20 billionth app downloaded from the app store is in effect. It's kind of fun just to watch for a little bit. Person that downloads the 10 billionth gets a $10,000 iTunes gift card. Check it out.
with my calculations, it should have gone from 9,985,700,000 to 9,995,670,000 in 7 hours and 23 minutes. And at exactly 12:51, it got to 9,995,670,000 which is 7 hours and 22 minutes from when the count got to 9,985,700,000. my calculations have been off by 1 minute!!!!! thats crazy!!! hahah someone give me props for real
we both are wrong. the rate has decreased to 1000 apps bought in 3.6 seconds. time to do the math again.
at 9,998,250,000 there will be only 1.75million more apps needed to be bought. if 1000 apps takes 3.6 seconds, that means 10,000 apps will take 36 seconds and hence 100,000 apps will take 6 minutes. this means that it will take 60 minutes or 1 hour to get 1 million. 1.75 x 60 minutes is 105 minutes which is 1 hour and 45 minutes until it reaches 10 billion. i will post this once the count reaches 9,998,250,000
so from my calculations, it should reach 10 billion at 5:31am at earliest. this is my final time guessing cuz im going to sleep but good luck people! and if anyone will actually be up to watch it reach 10 million, tell me at what time it reached it. and BTW for anyone trying to win this. BUY IT EARLIER BECAUSE THE SERVER DOESNT AUTOMATICALLY COUNT YOUR NUMBER. ITS ALL DELAYED. SO YOUR PURCHASE NUMBER WONT SHOW UP UNTIL LIKE 1000 ACTUAL LATER..
