Just visit the App Store, and download what could be your best app yet."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1295290634.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>The figure above was taken at about 10:58am Pacific time, and at the rate of 1,147,333 apps per hour (<a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/when-will-apple-sell-its-10-billionth-app/77285?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+cultofmac/bFow+(Cult+of+Mac)" target="_blank">according to Cult of Mac</a>), the prediction is early Friday morning this week for the 10 billionth download.
