We are now at Day 10 of Apple's 12 Days of Christmas. Today's gift from the 12 Days App, for those who use the Thai iTunes store, is Despicable Me Presents: Minion Madness, a short movie from Universal.

So far we have had:

1. Tunes from Justin Timberlake, live at the iTunes Festival in London
2. A game called Tiny Thief
3. A great app in Halftone 2
4. Toca House - a children's game
5. Home Alone - the movie
6. An EP of tunes from Joey Yung
7. Rayman Jungle Run
8. Cytus
9. A selection of songs from Wanting Qu

Apparently, according to a Tweet from Rene Ritchie (of iMore), the free gift in Canada yesterday (Day 9) was Kings of Leon: another iTunes Festival selection. I would have preferred that.

Out of the free gifts so far here, I have downloaded three or four: missing the children's games, but enjoying the music, Home Alone and of course the Halftone 2 app. I do not think I will download today's gift.

Any bets on the Ashton Kutcher, Steve Jobs biopic for Day 12? . . .
