 appStore / iTunes the most successful app

Although Prof Ben mentioned that appStore is not an app in the email, I still want to say a bit more about it.
In my perspective, they are indeed the most successful apps. Admittedly Angry Bird (just take it as example) is quite successful and makes a lot of value. However comparing to appStore  and iTunes, the value it made is really small. I believe that most of people think appStore or itunes is not "app" because they are the product of Apple Company and it is kind of system default ... People may argue the success of appStore and itunes highly depend on the success of ipod and iphone. Hence it was not fair to compare them with other apps. However, it is clear that the success of Angry bird also depends on the widely usage of i-products. If all of their success depend on the same i-product, we should be able to compare them.

In addition, the most successful app should and must have a very sharp idea. Just think about Windows System. They never try to come up with a software store... It is very challenging to come up with your own software store because it may kill the company's profit under the high pressure from open source softwares. Apple is brave enough to open its own app store and have a creative idea to sell music online without violating copyright. I have to say that such a great idea and great courage make these 2 apps so successful today.

Although these two applications may not be apps, they indeed changed the world. And they are one of the most successful products in the world.
