TapTapTap creates 10,000 iPhone apps mosaic

This is awesome. TapTapTap, in order to celebrate over 10,000 apps in the App Store, has created a mosaic of (what else?) an iPhone loaded up with apps -- out of the icons of App Store apps. It's crazy. You can see the entire thing full scale over on Flickr, and World of Apple is selling a poster of the image for $50 if you want to jump right over all the trouble of printing it out yourself..

There are quite a few Apps I don't recognize in there, but I did notice the WebMD app, the Warcraft Characters app, Pyrus, NetNewsWire, and a few others I've got installed on my own iPhone. Very cool idea, and very neat way to show off just how many thousands of apps have arrived in the App Store already.

Thanks, Alex!

10.000+ crap in the crAppstore you mean.

Most of these apps are nothing but spam...

I'd be interested in a crap versus app ratio for the crAppstore, the "iPhone Application Graveyard" and Cydia.
I bet Cydia will turn up with the better ratio towards app.

"out of the icons of App Store apps" should read "out of the icons of some of the App Store apps".

I think they could have used "MacOSaiX.app" for that. that would explain duplicates. there are some icons definitely missing. e.g. a wonderful webcam app I betatested for: "worldview"...

Does it say what software they used to make the mosaic?

Wow! Think how long it must have taken to put each icon in it's spot. Breathtaking.

The icon for my app "LlamaSlate" doesn't seem to be in there, but the icon for my "NixieClock" (the orange 3 digit on a black background) appears at least 5 times in it. heh.

One of my apps is in there (Crit by Treeness, LLC)! Twice actually:

It would have been cool if they had all 10000+ apps in the picture. Though, that would have probably been difficult, if not impossible.

Can anyone tell me what recommended app(s) you can use to make mosaic images like this on the Mac?
