Cupertino,
Calif. – Apple (NASD: AAPL) announced on
Tuesday that downloads of applications for its iPhone and iPod touch from the
company’s App Store have surpassed three billion. "Three billion
applications downloaded in less than 18 months — this is like nothing we’ve
ever seen before," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
"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."
The App Store, which launched in July 2008 and is now
available in 77 countries, reached 2 billion downloads just two months ago.
