The article states the primary winner would receive $10,000 "App Store" Gift Card. I wonder if that is a misprint because I view the App Store differently than the Apple Store.

It's basically become the same thing. You can buy anything at the Apple Store using iTunes cards linked to your Apple ID.

I'm fairly sure this is an AppStore (iTunes or Apps or iBooks) gift card not an Apple Store gift card that could be used for hardware.

In that case, it will definitely be worth it to the person who ends up winning. May it be one of us...:D

It's not the same thing. An AppStore gift card can only be used for iTunes music or video, iBooks and the AppStore.

An Apple gift card can be used for hardware or software purchases online or in a retail store (or to buy an iTunes gift card, I suppose).

Hmm. I know I've purchased accessories before with the Apple Store app for in store pickup and used the Remaining iTunes store balance towards the price. Maybe it's changed since then.

'As of today, nearly 50 billion apps have been downloaded worldwide. And we couldn’t have done it without you. So we want to say thanks. Download the 50 billionth app, and you could win a US$10,000 App Store Gift Card. Or download one of the first 50 apps after that, and you could win a US$500 App Store Gift Card.* Browse the App Store and download your next favorite app.'

This is entirely different than yesterday where it stated gift card and other goodies...!

A $10,000 gift card for the App Store makes no sense. It has to be a misprint. You could go through 10 generations and not spend 10 grand on apps,etc.

I'd rather have an apple store gift card, just in time for the new MacBook Pros. But I'm not being choosy.

Apple is intelligent enough that's why they are offering 10k. Apple knows you would hardly spend $1000 !
