  It's still early in December, and Apple is already starting the
  flood of "top" lists, in this case the most popular music, movies,
  and applications of 2008. (Clicking the link takes you directly to
  the iTunes Store.)

  Most interesting are the lists of iPhone and iPod touch
  applications: the top-selling app was Koi Pond, a wonderful little
  simulation of a pond filled with koi fish. At just $0.99, it's well
  done and is fun to show people who want to see what an iPhone can
  do. (Koi Pond tip: Hold your finger on the screen and wait for a
  fish to nibble it. And no, I can't believe I just shared a _Koi
  Pond_ tip.) Apple breaks the apps down into many different
  categories, giving you a glimpse into what people are downloading
  (both paid and free apps).
