Apple just loves to rain on parades. This week, the Nexus One is sashaying into the smartphone fray, and the best and the brightest of the tech products are on display at CES.

Just in case the repeated tablet rumors weren’t enough, now Apple has announced that 3,000,000,000 apps have been downloaded from the app store. Presumably all those iPod Touches and iPhones sold during the holidays helped quite a bit.

And what’s that sad noise from the corner? Poor Palm and their 1,000 apps…this news is going to really galvanize Apple’s competitors into action!

She loves writing about ebooks because they combine her two favorite activities; reading anything and everything, and talking about fun new tech toys. What could be better?

    Wait a second. Up there near the top left corner of that picture, isn’t that the Winterboard application? Available only for jailbroken iPhones? Did Apple *really* put a jailbreak-only app on one of their official photos?

    I’m reasonably sure it must be the icon for another app, but hey, wouldn’t that be hell’a funny?
