<\/a><\/div>\nLast year was a big one for mobile downloads, according to a number of sources. A Quantcast mobile trends report<\/a> says that mobile web activity grew 110% in the US throughout 2009, and of course Apple was responsible for most of that, with a 65% market share, 41% from the iPhone and the rest from the iPod touch. Apple’s market share slightly dropped in 2009 (due to increasing competition<\/a>), but it’s still head and shoulders above everyone else.<\/p>\n App downloads are huge as well. Not only did Apple announce that three billion downloads<\/a>, but Gameloft says they’ve reached 10 million paid downloads<\/a> of apps by themselves, and developer Lima Sky (makers of Doodle Jump<\/em><\/a>, one of our favorite games of 2009<\/a>), says downloads skyrocketed after Christmas, with over 500,000 downloads of their app in December of 2009 alone.<\/p>\n The App Store is doing big business lately — it’s probably a safe bet to say that 2009 kicked off a golden age of mobile web activity. And all indications are that 2010 will be even more interesting.<\/p>\n TUAW<\/a>Millions of app store downloads everywhere<\/a> originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)<\/a> on Thu, 07 Jan 2010 07:00:00 EST.
