Apple® today announced that more than three billion apps have been downloaded from its revolutionary App Store by iPhone® and iPod touch® users worldwide.

‘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. ‘

That ‘s an excerpt from an Apple press release today announcing the three billion app downloads milestone.  I guess Steve is feeling a bit better, judging by the feistiness of that last line.  Then again, I don ‘t think anyone can argue with the App Store ‘s enormous impact.

BGR also has a post up this morning pointing out the amazing pace these App Store milestones are running at right now: as it was only a little over three months ago that the two billion downloads mark was reached.
