Apple Nearing a Billion Downloads

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Apple is heading toward 1 billion application downloads globally and has even launched a countdown page.

The computer-tech firm is offering all manner of prizes to celebrate that billionth download.  Anyone who downloads an app is entered into a content giving away a $10,000 iTunes gift gard, an iPod Touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro.

Though this is hardly adult industry-specific news, who woudn't want to win any of the goodies above?

By the time this is read by some, Apple may have well topped that billion-download milestone.
