Total iPad App Downloads Pass 3 Billion -- Nearly 20% of iOS' Total to Date

iPad owners have downloaded more than 3 billion apps for their tablets in the 20 months since the device made its debut, according to Singapore-based ABI Research. This means the iPad has accounted for almost 17 percent of the 18 billion total iOS downloads. By comparison ABI estimates the iPhone took as long as two years to reach the 3 billion app download mark.

No surprise here, but the figures cement the iPad as the clear tablet market leader, as Android tablets have only seen about 440 million tablet-specific app downloads so far.
