Apple’s iPhone App Store Passes 3 Billion Downloads
Apple has announced they have surpassed the 3 billion download mark within their App Store. Somewhere in Cupertino Steve Jobs must have a huge smile on his face as it was just this past September where downloads reached 2 billion:
“Three billion applications downloaded in less than 18 months—this is like nothing we’ve ever seen before,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The revolutionary App Store offers iPhone and iPod touch users an experience unlike anything else available on other mobile devices, and we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.”
So let’s stop and think about this, iPhone and iPod touch users in 77 countries downloaded one billion applications within a 4 month period. That’s pretty impressive and with no signs of slowing, it’s a safe bet Jobs is right about the competition.

Before anyone asks (in wake of the Nexus One release, I doubt there will be any).
It is download number not purchase, and it doesn’t count redownloads.
It would be nice if Apple break the numbers down but with the purchase of Quattro, it would be a bit stubborn to insist free downloads don’t count also.
