Apple's re-tooled window display for the holiday season includes a giant iPhone 3GS featured as the glorious centerpiece of their cardboard Christmas tree. The clever tag line "85,000 Gifts, One Box" adorns Apple Store windows everywhere, engorged with the towering wonder of an iPhone tree erected from a fresh pile of over-sized holiday app icons. It's truly breathtaking.
The iPhone can be spied cycling through descriptions of several holiday themed apps like iSnowGlobe, making Christmas wishes come true for developers of these seasonal beauties that are only relevant once a year. Then like Santa Claus, they slip away into the night.
Apple has much to be thankful for this year with over 85,000 apps in the App Store ringing in some 2 billion downloads from iPhone faithful. I can't wait to sing; "Oh iPhone tree, Oh iPhone tree, how lovely are your branches." holding hands with a large group of Machead carolers at my own local Apple store close to Christmas Eve, as we all gather to bask in the soft glow of the beloved iPhone. Peacefully huddled together like a joyous flash mob standing in awe outside the store window.
Yes indeed my iPhone friends... it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
