Both manufacturers and mobile operators are looking for ways to improve the way they offer mobile applications to their customers. But not everyone wants to develop a complete store himself and step in the game of getting the most interesting content. For those parties, Getjar seems to be getting a popular choice.
After announcing partnerships with UK mobile operator 3 and SonyEricsson to provide their mobile app stores, Getjar today announced to launch an app store for Virgin Mobile France. Getjar will provide its entire catalogue of free mobile applications for Virgin Mobile’s newly announced mobile app store, to be launched the 17th of June. The store will be fully available in French, which is something Getjar has not done before. This could open more doors to localized stores of more mobile operators.
With more of these partnerships being announced, the importance of having a popular mobile app on Getjar is also increasing. These top applications will also get good exposure to consumers on the partners where Getjar provides the store and contents.
The top 5 most downloaded apps and their downloads per week are:
