Google's Android platform seems to be getting all the attention as of late, but lest anyone forget about Apple and its iPhone and iPod touch lineup, the company today announced that more than three billion apps have been downloaded from its App Store.

"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."

It will be interesting to see if Jobs' last remark holds up by the end of 2010, especially with all the Android-powered devices on tap. But in the here and now, he has reason to be cocky. Apple's App Store stands at over 100,000 apps strong, and the iPhone still remains one of the trendiest smartphones available.
