Bump iPhone app

We’ve already reported that Apple has reached the magic 1 billion number. Now we have more details to share. The 1 billionth iPhone app was downloaded by 13 year old Connor Mulcahey, who grabbed the free application called Bump.

If you haven’t heard of Bump, you should know it allows swapping of contact information by bumping two iPhones together. No typing is required, just another person with the iPhone.

For its “effort” Connor will receive Apple’s prize pack that includes $10,000 iTunes card, MacBook Pro, iPod Touch, and Time Capsule! Envy’s in the air. ;)

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
