I have a very short attention span when it comes to accessories for my iPhone and iPad, and my most used accessories reflect that.

ABI Research has a new study showing the iPadApp 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.
