13 year-old wins Apple’s billion download prize

Apple has released the details of the winner of its $10,000+ prize, given away to celebrate the App Store’s billionth download- and it’s a 13 year-old boy called Connor Mulcahey from Connecticut. Needless to say, we’re very jealous.

He won the prize by downloading Bump, an application that lets you transfer details easily with other people also using the application. To fuel our jealousy even more, he didn’t even have to pay for the application since it’s a freebie.

The grand prize included a $10,000 iTunes gift card, which is presumably not available on the pristine shelves of your local Apple store, plus an iPod Touch, a Time Capsule hard drive and a Macbook Pro. The rest of us will have to wait until the next billion mark is passed, and hope that Apple sees fit to celebrate it in similar fashion.
