Apple has created an interesting display for the developer attendees at its WWDC event. A "wall", made up of a bank of twenty edge-to-edge 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays, is offering a visualisation of live downloads of 20,000 of the most popular iPhone apps.
As the video, captured by WWDC09Attendee shows, as each app is downloaded it flashes and send a sort of ripple through the surrounding apps. Not quite real time - there is a 5 minute delay - Apple is hoping is gives a visual way of representing the 3000 apps downloaded every minute.
