GetJar tops 3 million application downloads per day

Cross-platform applications storefront GetJar announced downloads now exceed 3 million per day across operating systems including Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian and Windows Mobile. GetJar now serves consumers spanning more than 200 countries and 2,000 different handset models, noting that clear patterns are beginning to emerge across different geographic and device segments--for example, Indian consumers download more productivity applications than Americans, while religious apps are increasingly popular in the Middle East. GetJar also notes that Google's Android platform, which wasn't even part of its business a year ago, is now the second most popular operating system in terms of developer submissions.

As of July 2010, Facebook Mobile is the top GetJar application in terms of overall downloads. The rest of the top five, in descending order: eBuddy Messenger, Nimbuzz, Migg33 and Opera Mini. GetJar receives more visits from U.S. consumers using the Sanyo Incognito than any other handset, followed by Apple's iPhone, Samsung's Seek, LG's Rumor Touch and Samsung's Impression.
