Will YOU Be The One To Download The One BEELIONth iPhone App?

A billion ain't what it used to be; heck, these days, major corporations are losing tens of billions of dollars left and right.  But in the rarefied world of the iPhone, nearly a billion apps downloaded (onto over 17 million iPhones, no less) still counts for something.

And that's what Apple's doing here: counting down until the billionth app is downloaded.  And when you download an app between now and the magic 1,000,000, you'll be entered into a contest to win a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro.  (Still don't have an iPhone yet?  Me neither.  But you can still enter the contest…)
