I guess Apple haven't worked this out yet.

No one with and iphone tell people to goto an app store they always say goto itunes, as that what you have to use for everything to do anything with an iphone ipod etc.

Where as people with an Android phone will say "just goto the app store or app market" as that is what devs and people call it and you can use what ever you like to add remove files for an android phone.

Its kind of hard to do a research now on what was on search engines a few years back since there are already many changes.

As for the thing about the dictionary, just because the word isnt in the dictionary yet doesnt mean that you can say you came up with it. Is the "f" word in the dictionary? The dictionary is just a guide and no 2 dictionaries have the exact same number of words.

When i think of the word 'app', i think of it as slang for application.

Also, just because you spent millions on advertising a word, doesnt mean that the word is yours.

App has been a shorthand for application for as long as I can remember (the 80s).

Apple Corp are lying! The word "app" appears in at least two common, important dictionaries: The Oxford English Dictionary:

Brit. /æp/, U.S. /æp/
[Shortened ? application n.]
An application, esp. an application program (see application n. Compounds 2). Also freq. in killer app n. at killer n. Additions Cf. applications program n. at application n. Compounds 2b.

and the Encarta World English Dictionary:
app

app [ap] (plural apps) noun
COMPUTING application: an application (informal)
