Inventors create condom which can be fitted in three seconds

Thirty to forty seconds seems like a big exaggeration to me. If the packet is to hand and you don't fumble tearing it, ten seconds seems closer to the mark.

I am having some very peculiar mental images of a condom applicator. Right now all I can see is some kind of super enlarged tampon applicator.

And I wouldn't have thought there is much that could be done which would be much simpler than 'remove from packet. Place over penis. Pull down while pinching on little teat on the top' short of providing a nubile young slave to place the condom on for you.

That last option works very well, but short of that, I think there is room for improvements. I want a dispenser that makes it easy to pull off a new condom, and a packet that's easier to tear open, for a start. I want to be able to tell which way up the condom goes without fumbling, in the dark.
