Happy 1st Birthday to the App Store!

This Saturday, July 11, the App Store turns one year old. To date, well over 1 billion apps have been downloaded from the App Store (Apple celebrated that milestone in April 2009).

In Apple’s own words:

Light a candle and cue the music. Okay, forgive us for sounding like doting parents, but we’re just so proud—having watched the App Store go from promising newcomer to full-fledged revolutionary. To celebrate its first birthday, we’ve gathered some of our favorite games and apps. Part fun. Part function. Entirely amazing.
