If you've ever downloaded an app from iTunes then congratulations, you are a part of history. Just a few minutes ago Apple notched its 25 billionth download, thanking all involved for getting there, and of course (like it did for 10 billion (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/14/apple-nears-ten-billion-downloads-in-app-store-should-hit-it-wi/), and 1 billion (http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/10/apple-anxiously-awaits-the-selling-of-their-billionth-app-downlo/)), gifting the lucky individual who crossed the line with another $10k gift card (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/17/apple-readies-10-000-prize-for-25-billionth-app-milestone/). Not sure what you would buy with $10,000 in App Store bucks? That's ok, since you probably don't have it, but don't forget -- our official Engadget (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/engadget/id347839246?mt=8) and Distro (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/engadget-distro/id459434195?mt=8) apps are free, and will love you back all the same. Remember way back in 2008 when all this was fresh and new (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/apple-app-store-now-live/)?
