Apple's App Store hit another milestone Tuesday, topping 3 billion downloads.
The store, which launched in July 2008 with just 500 applications, now offers more than 100,000 free and paid apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Apple didn't break down how many of the downloaded apps were paid and how many were free, but the App Store does provide lists of its most popular apps in those categories.
The App Store reached the 1 billion download mark in April and the 2 billion mark in November.
The success of the App Store has forced other mobile companies to try to mimic its success. LG, Research In Motion, Nokia, Google, Palm and Microsoft all have their own stores or plan to open one.
So far, no one has been able to match the number of applications or downloads from Apple's store.
