Paper Glider was the 10 Billionth App downloaded from iTunes
Apparently the 10k was almost missed out on, When an Apple rep called, Gail Davis was all too eager to assume the voice on the other end was someone attempting to sell her a Shake Weight or some knives, and so she promptly hung up the phone.
After realizing the could of been a mistake, Davis tried to call back, but that wasn’t working. Luckily, Eddy Cue, the VP of iTunes, somehow learned of all this and called the Davis household himself to sort everything out. Whew!
