Only nine months after Apple opened the App Store to let people download applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple reports that customers have downloaded one billion apps. Connor Mulcahey, a 13 year-old kid who downloaded a free game app, will receive a $10,000 iTunes® gift card, an iPod® touch, a Time Capsule® and a MacBook® Pro. Pretty nice stuff.
Although many of the downloaded apps are free, Apple receives 30% of the price of all paid apps. There are 35,000 apps available at the App Store, and everyone I know who owns an iPhone, including me, struggles with App Store addiction. Would someone organize a 12-step program, please?
This summer iPhone OS 3.0 will be released, and it will allow developers to do even more creative things. One of those more creative things will be the ability to copy and paste, just decades after Apple invented the concept.
I use a variety of apps that weren’t designed specifically for lawyers. Apps which are more lawyer-specific include the ABA Journal, an app with lawyer jokes, and a free copy of the Constitution. I haven’t seen any must-have apps for lawyers, unless you’re a lawyer who bills your time by the hour. If that includes you, they have some nice time-keeping apps you may find interesting.

What can we do together? Since 1999 I've been using the Internet, websites, blogs, online video, Twitter and other social media to help thousands of injured people find great lawyers. We've organized national networks of lawyers in over forty states to take on Pfizer, Bayer, Yamaha and other multinational corporations. We've put consumers on a level playing field, and had fun doing it. If you're a great lawyer looking for more clients, contact me and let's see what we can do together.
