iPad App Store unofficially passes three billion app downloads
ABI Research has a new study claiming the iPad App Store has hit three billion downloads since it debuted in 2010.
The iPhone took as long as two years before being able to achieve this level of downloads, while the iPad made it within nearly a year and a half.
This would represent roughly 19 percent of all iOS App Store downloads combined, a significant slice of the pie in terms of Apple's mobile ecosystem.
In comparison, Android tablets only have around 440 million app downloads thus far, or just a little under one sixth of the amount from Apple's fledgling -- but wildly successful -- tablet device.

Aww..!! This is just awesome. I cant even imagine that one iPad can have over 140,000 apps. But this seems that the technology is going beyond our expectations.
