On a day dominated by news of Google's Nexus One Android phone Apple let the world know that their App store has reached 3 billion downloads.

“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.”

Was anyone paying attention to Apple today? Doubt it.
