iTunes Passes the Ten Billion Mark

This past week iTunes reached a significant milestone: over ten billion songs downloaded. Started in 2003, this amazing amount of downloads pays tribute to not only a significant amount of revenue, but also to Apple’s extremely powerful presence in the music industry.

All-time-most-downloaded song? The hip hop group Black Eyed Peas take top honors with “I Gotta Feeling”. Their “Boom Boom Pow” is the third.

Most songs in the top 25 most downloaded? Lady Gaga with three singles: “Poker Face,” “Just Dance,” and “Bad Romance.”

Other artists in the top 10 include Jason Mraz, Flo Rida, Taylor Swift, Leona Lewis, and Ke$ha.

Who won iTunes’ contest to be the 10 Billionth person to download? Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Ga. Sulcer purchased Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way,” and as a reward for downloading the 10 billionth song from iTunes, was given an iTunes gift certificate worth $10,000.

Just as significantly, iPhone apps are making their mark. Last week they passed the 3 billion mark. Pretty amazing given their relatively young existence.

Samsung Wave Throws Another Mobile OS Into the Mix

Samsung has a new smartphone out that’s fast, sleek-looking, and boasts an entirely new mobile OS developed by Samsung called “bada”.

The device, called Samsung Wave (S8500), features a 1GHz CPU, a 3.3-inch, 800×480 pixel AMOLED screen, a 5-megapixel camera, 2 or 8 GB of storage space (expandable via microSD memory cards) and a GPS. It supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3G as well as MP3, WMV, DivX and XviD.

Initial reports are that the device is still somewhat buggy and prone to crashes. Hopefully Samsung will be able to iron out the bugs before the device hits the market. Haven’t we heard that name somewhere before??
