Apple Launches ‘1 Billion App Countdown’ Promotion
.
Apple today launched a 1 Billion App Countdown promotion, offering the opportunity for users to enter to win a package of prizes valued at over $13,000.
As of today, nearly one billion apps have been downloaded around the globe. So we just want to say thanks – a billion. Download an app and you’ll automatically get the chance to win a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro. Just go to the iTunes Store, browse the App Store, and download your best app yet.
Entries are limited to users 13 years and older from participating countries. Users are limited to 25 entries per day, and the contest closes when the billionth app is downloaded.
Apple offered similar promotions to mark 100 million (2004) and 1 billion (2006) iTunes song downloads.

Nope it is literally one billion apps. That is including the whole world that has iphones. If you think about it, an average iphone user either downloads 10 to 15 free apps and then you can also think about the ones that download 30 to 40 but also you add in the apps people purchase after they try to the free trial app and you get a loooot of downloads.
