Apple App Store Tops 3 Billion Downloads
In some exciting news from Apple, the App Store has accumulated more than 3 billion downloads, with the last billion coming in the last 3 months or so. The New York Times Bits Blog reports:
The written announcement included the customary quote from Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive. “Three billion applications downloaded in less than 18 months — this is like nothing we’ve ever seen before,” he said. “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.”
Some observers also noted that the news seems strategically timed to steal some of the publicity thunder from Google’s unveiling of the Nexus One phone on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, the astounding, accelerating growth of the App Store serves more notice that a new era of computing is afoot — and that the store has become a powerful platform that the company can extend to other mobile devices (say, its impending tablet).
The implications for the mobile market are considerable, as only a short time ago apps were not even available on mobile devices. You can read more on the Bits Blog.
