BlackBerry App World Reaches 3 Billion Downloads

Blackberyy makes the neat little landmark i.e. 3 Billion app have been downloaded from the blackberry app world. The company has taken to its Inside BlackBerry blog to commemorate the occasion, saying it busts the myth that there aren't enough apps for RIM's smartphones and PlayBook tablet.
The three billion total has been reached in 1,172 days, which averages out at 2.5 million a day.
However, the news RIM will be most pleased is the increased download activity, with the first billion downloads taking four times longer than the third.
The app store also now has over 90,000 apps for download which is a pretty small figure when you take into account theWindows Marketplace which hit 100,000 apps last month and it’s been around for a shorter time period.

And of course the 3 billion downloads is nothing compared to Apple’s 25 billion or Google’s 20 billion – but it does show that there are enough apps on the BlackBerry App World to generate that many downloads so it’s not too bad. However, if RIM doesn’t bring its A-game to the table (especially in the US) with BlackBerry 10, you can be pretty sure that people aren’t going to stick around long enough to increase that download counter significantly.
