GetJar reaches two billion downloads

Took four years to reach its first billion; one more year to get to two.

This is an impressive milestone for the browser-based app store, which offers free apps on Android, BlackBerry, Java and Symbian, and monetises through advertising and paid site placements.

It currently offers 150,000 apps.

“We credit our growth in downloads to our open approach to the app marketplace,” said our CEO, Ilja Laurs. “Giving developers for all platforms a free space to distribute their applications has proven popular to both developers and consumers.

"GetJar has become an even bigger player in a field of giants and a destination for free Android apps.”

The firm also confirmed that one million of its users have connected to Facebook.
