Prize-winning billionth App Store customer revealed

24 April 2009 14:20 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

We've already brought you the news that Apple has passed the one billion downloads of applications from its App Store milestone, but Apple has now revealed who won the prize for being the billionth.

The Cupertino company was offering a $10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule - and a MacBook Pro - to the lucky downloader.

It seems "Bump", created by Bump Technologies, was the billionth app downloaded by Connor Mulcahey, age 13, of Weston, Connecticut who presumably already has a touch, seeing as iPhones aren't for sale to teens.

Thanks a billion, indeed, hey, Connor?
