Everyone knows about iTunes, we are all somehow using it and having an association with it, whether due to its benefits or the things it does. What would happen when you give a link of iTunes page to your friend or someone you like to view it, it will put him on downloading the free software named as iTunes.

Apple the Global Giant has launched iTunes preview, you can view from your browser, what is available on list, so you can get to it. It is not limited to any browser or its version, it is accessible even from the Internet Explorer 6.0 to any region.

The iTunes preview is accessible in two ways, you can log in through the iTunes Chart on the official website of Apple or a link can be produced from the iTunes Store.

You can‘t listen the previews being outside of iTunes, there is a big ad is also placed on the top of the page to let you remind that you should install iTunes in order to test sample or when purchasing music you like.

At the moment, only music is available here on iTunes, but seeing on the other side, the growth level in future may allow you for latest and old libraries of Movies, Shows and the App store.

You might have flipped through thousands of posts related to top 5, 7, 10,20…… iPhone apps, but at last Apple had to list itself top 20 paid-for and free apps for its iPhone according to the number of downloads of these Apps from their App Store.

The apps which have been included in the list of free apps, most of iPhone users might have already downloaded from Apps store. But still you need to give a close look to the list, as you may be missing something very important from these listed apps.

Considering the amounts of downloads from the App Store, it can be said without any qualm that it has become one of the fastest growing businesses on the internet and that’s why almost all big players like Microsoft, RIM are developing their  own such download app stores viewing App’s Store remarkable success.

“There are not lots of barriers to enter App Store and that’s the nicest thing about the App Store,” says David Rowan, editor of UK magazine Wired in the Guardian.

Touch Hockey, iPint, Google Earth, Facebook and Pac-Man Lite are top five free apps for the iPhone in UK and Flick Fishing, Virtual Pool, Crash Bandicoot and Moto Chaser are  top five paid for iPhone apps.

Previously, the company had expressed its desire to clinch some non-kindle devices in its digitally deliverance ecosystem, and now the earlier fruits of that hard toil have begun to strike the iPhone App Store.

Now this uncreatively named kindle will allow you to get your Kindle content access with all the ease and comfort of your iPhone as well as iPod touch.

And if you are fortunate enough and have Kindle, it will be kicked to keep your location synchronized between readers by Whispersync.

Isn’t it a great success for the owners of these two nice devices, considering this fact that you can’t carry kindle everywhere because of its bigness, but you can do so with your iPhone?

The reports regarding the launch of Nokia’s own version of App Store is also one of such teasers.

The Finnish seems quite impress with the success of Apple’s iPhone App Store and now has decided to announce to offer direct downloads of its Symbian to over 100m users around the world.

Recently, Apple has told that it got over 500m downloads from its App Store, this increased volume forced many big players like RIM to consider it, as the company has recently built its Blackberry Application Storefront.

If Nokia rightly and precisely fit the formula and makes it easier for the various segments of users to download the applications from its store without any fuss, there is no reason that Nokia wouldn’t be able to enjoy the same success, as Apple’s App store is enjoying these days.

Perhaps the numbers have got mixed up, or the App Store is a lot more popular than we could expect.

There is an Apple ad in the New York Times which reveals that more than 300m downloads have been made from its App Store.

It was in end of October when Apple chief Steve revealed the figures of 200m and it was just after 100 days of its launch and now these downloads have crossed 300m figures.

People seem less enthusiast especially about pocket-money prices apps, but surprisingly nearly 2.5m downloads are being made from App Store every day.

According to market analyst Gartner, sales figures for the third quarter showed that 4.7m iPhones have been sold in that period following Blackberry 5.8m and Nokia 15.5m.

It shows that Apple has achieved a +300% growth rate that it absolutely contrary to 3.1% drop in Nokia’s sales for that period last year.

All these figures are fueling those rumors and speculation which suggesting that 4GB iPhone may hit the shelves on Dec.28 with a hanging price tag of just $99. It’s true or not only time can tell. But still we can hope for the best.

The lists have been separated by whether applications are free or paid. Then, they are separated on the basis of overall look and then by every main application category (entertainment, games, utilities, music and social networking). While overall top applications shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, who has taken occasional glance at built-in top download pages of iPhone, there are certain remarkable names concealed in the data that are separated categorically.

Top Paid Apps (Overall):

Koi Pond, Texas Hold’em, Moto Chaser, Crash Bandicoot: Nitro Kart 3d, Super Monkey Ball, Cro-Mag zally, Enigmo, Pocket Guitar, Recorder, iBeer

Of the names that are there on this list, the only surprising fact is the rank of Super Monkey Ball, which could have been higher. When App store was launched, it seemed to everyone that Super Monkey became the face of gaming on iPhone. What might have hindered its chances for a higher rank is that the game was expensive at the time of launch. However, it was a great show for Pangea Software. They secured two positions on the list with Cro-Mag Rally (6) and Enigmo (7).

Top 10 Free Downloads (Overall) are Pandora Radio, Facebook, Tap Tap Revenge, Shazam, Labyrinth Lite Edition, Remote, Google Earth, Lightsaber Unleashed, AIM, Urbanspoon.

What was interesting in this list was the entry of Google Earth. The application was launched in App Stores only couple of months back for iPhone and it cracked into the Top 10 for free downloads.

Top Paid Games are Texas Hold’em, Moto Chaser, Crash Bandicoot : Nitro Kart 3d, Super Monkey Ball, Cro-Mag Rally, Enigmo, Air Hockey, Bejeweled 2, Flick Bowling, Line Rider iRide.

Top Free Games are Tap Tap Revenge, Labyrinth Lite Edition, Sol Free Solitaire, iBowl, Pac-Man Lite, Touch Hockey:FS5, Cannon Challenge, Audi A4 Driving Challenge, Sudoku, reMovem. Although some doubted its top position in this list, Tap Tap Revenge had fairly constant buzz surrounding it and deserved its top position. However, the surprising element was the position of Sudoku, which went way down to number 9.

Top Paid Entertainment are Koi Pond, iBeer, iChalky, Face Melter, iFish, TouchScan, What’s on TV, Pocket Piano, Sketches, OneTap Movies. A surprising entry in the list at #6 is ‘TouchScan’. It is a 99-cent application, which scans minds of 2 people at the same time and compares the recorded brain waves. They do it by way of a fake on-screen fingerprint scanner.

Top Free Entertainment are  Remote, Lightsaber Unleashed, i.TV, BubbleWrap, Movies, iDoodle 2 lite, Showtimes, Now Playing, Scribble, Crazy Pumpkin. Presence of ‘Crazy Pumpkin’ in the list proves that how much impact holiday-themed applications can have with users. It puts faces of Jack-o-lantern on the screen of your iPhone. It managed to get adequate swing from coverage around Halloween for getting barely into the top 10.

Top Paid Utilities are Units (crossroad solutions), A Level, Air Mouse, Fake Calls, Voice Record, Clinometer, Spell Check, Speed Dial, FileMagnet, iNetwork Speed Test. Top Free Utilities are Flashlight, myLite Flashlight, Say Who – Dialer, Units (TheMacBox), Compass Free, Alarm Free, A Free Level, Molecules, Speed Test, myLighter.

Presence of ‘Units’, in both free and paid utilities is good, although they are two dissimilar applications, TheMacBox & Crossroad Solutions. Top Paid Social Networking are MobileChat, BeejiveIM,  Quip, Rooms – Your Mobile Chat Client, Twitterrific Premium, Flutter, Twittelator Pro, mBoxMail, Secrets, hiCard – Suite.

What is impressive in this list is the presence of BeeJiveIM. The application not only made its way into Top 10 paid social networking, but landed at a remarkable #2. I’m not shocked with this result, as the quality of this application is quite good. However, its price of $16 was too high. In a market, where number of users complains with 99-cent applications to be too expensive, performance of BeeJive is actually shocking.

Top Free Social Networking are Facebook, AIM, Myspace Mobile, IM+ Lite, Loopt, Fring, Palringo IM, Earthscape, Twitterrific, Avatar. Facebook getting one up on Myspace isn’t an unexpected thing, as the former has been performing brilliantly in the field of social networking recently.

Top Paid Music are PocketGuitar, Drum Kit, Ocarina, Pianist, Band, Tuner Internet Radio, Beat Maker,  Guitar Toolkit, Harmonica, Guitarist. Top Free Music are Pandora Radio, Shazam, AOL Radio, Midomi, Mini Piano, iheart Radio, MixMeister Scratch, FlyCast Mobile Radio, Last.FM, DigiDrummer Lite.

There’s one interesting thing to note in both this lists, although this one will hardly make any sense. Majority (9 of 10) in the paid applications were for making music, whereas majority (7 of 10) in free apps is targeted at listening to music
