I don’t know what about you, but this whole guessing matter is too much for me, i’d rather wait and expect Jobs to surprise me. :)

iTunes: 1 Billion Downloads

iTunesAlex Ostrovsky from Michigan was the lucky to download “Speed Of Sound” by Coldplay and win 20-inch iMac, 10 fifth generation iPods and a $10,000 gift card for any items in the iTunes Music store.

That’s the coolest thing about the story in my opinion..after all, it’s pretty obvious that Apple is mastering this industry. Apart from that is the fact that we’re noticing that people do realize downloading legally is better than doing it illegally.

Apple’s video store isn’t doing bad either with over 15 million video downloads so far.
