Applications are all the rage. And the guys at Samsung, congratulations. Today it was known that Samsung Apps, the famous application store that the South Korean has open on the Internet, has just exceeded 100 million downloads, which is said soon. But you already know that Samsung Apps is not the only stall that we have open on the Internet to meet the needs of all smart mobile phone users. In fact, by now the Windows Market Place has already exceeded 10,200 applications compatible with Windows Phone 7, while Applecontinues to lead the market, despite the fact that the only ones that have grown in recent months are the Android Market and Nokia's Ovi Store. Today, the one that is in luck is Samsung.
The truth is that the Samsung store has applications for mobile phones that work with their own operating system. We refer to Bada, a platform that works on the following terminals: Samsung Wave S8500, Samsung Wave II S8530, Samsung Wave 525 S5250, Samsung Wave 533 s5330, Samsung Wave 723 (S7230E) and Samsung Omnia II (I8000). In fact, all users who have a Samsung mobile phone with Android or Windows Phone 7, will normally have to access the application store of each platform to expand the functions of their phone with software of all kinds.
In any case, the Korean company announced today the triumphal arrival of 100 million downloads, with 40% of requests made from Spain, Germany and France. But here Samsung's job isn't done. The company has decided to hold a contest to promote the download of applications for its terminals with Bada, from March 25 to April 30, with the possibility of winning gifts as interesting as a Samsung Galaxy Player, pendrives or even a Samsung Galaxy Tab, the famous tablet with whichSamsung has also triumphed and that by the way works with Android.
