Apple’s App Store has established yet another record. We’ve seen the store reach one billion downloads followed quickly by the two million mark. And now the App Store has reached another remarkable number. The store houses at this time 100,000 applications which is a record in the business and now the number has been officially recognized by Apple. Everyone else is trailing way back and it will be almost impossible for the App Store to be surpassed by any other similar adventure. We’re probably going to see even more records get established as there are more than 34 million iPhones out there, not to mention the iPod touches sold so far by Cupertino. We’ve showed you lots of App Store apps here and there are many more interesting apps to show you, so stay tuned. The third billion download is probably just around the corner.

What’s your favorite iPhone app?

Now here’s something cool that would find a nice home in any OS fan boy’s collection — What you see above are real life calculator concepts that mimic the virtual ones found in both Mac OS X and Windows. The Mintpass designer has done a great job with these showing off their virtual counterparts in the bottom corners of the images.

Would these ever hit retail? Most likely not because if they did the manufacturers would be looking at a hefty lawsuit. But hell, I’d buy one.

Before you read on please make note that this is only a rumor and has not been confirmed in any way shape or form — BGR brings us news that AT&T and Apple are pondering whether or not to launch an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99 that would be presumably replace the current $99 iPhone 3G.

Like I said, there isn’t very much evidence to back this up but if this goes down it would reportedly be a move to combat the DROID handsets popping up on Verizon.

Earlier today we let you know that the BlackBerry 8530 would be hitting Verizon on November 20th and now we have news of the same device hitting Sprint.

There wasn’t an exact release date announced but a Sprint spokesperson said that it will be out relatively soon with EV-DO and WiFI built-it. Of course, since there was no release date announcement there was no price but we have a hunch that it will be right around the $99 that Verizon is charging with a 2-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate.

AT&T has just announced their intentions to launch a whole slew of new features on November 8th. The first is an all new voicemail-to-text service which will, of course, change your voicemails into text messages making it easier for you to catch that number or name.

Second of all AT&T is planning to launch their Nation with Canada plans which will allow you customers to make calls between Canada and the US with no long distance charges.

And last but not least they will be launching 3 new channels for their Mobile TV service which we have little to no details about. Luckily, they will be dropping the base cost of the service from $15 to $9.99 and the unlimited service from $30 to $24.99.

Here’s an interesting iPhone app that will let you help out with other apps. This is Chorus, an App Store app that will aid in recommending apps to fit the user’s needs.

Unlike the Apple’s native App Store app, this doesn’t have a “top” list based on overall downloads. Chorus is designed to work in chorus with apps that have been recommended by other Chorus users.

I think we all remember the memory card movies for the PSP, a format that is sadly dead. There has been a lot of talk that DVDs and Blu-rays are on their way out, and that all digital formats will take their place.

Perhaps another step was taken today as Kingston and Paramount have teamed up to put movies on flash memory sticks. They started with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 4GB Kingston DataTraveler for $29.99, with no word of when others will be available. Surely there are better Paramount films to put on memory sticks then this one!
