Downloads for the Opera mini mobile browser have topped 25million through the independent application specialist GetJar, making it the most downloaded app from any app store ever.
The latest version of Opera Mini (v4.2) has received nearly 7.5 million downloads since the beginning of the year on GetJar and remains one of their top five most downloaded applications globally. Equally important for Opera is the fact that its downloads have been cross-platform with consumers using Java, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices to download the popular mobile browser.
Rolf Assev chief strategy officer for Opera Software says “The fact that Opera Mini is the most downloaded app ever on an open app store like GetJar makes us proud because it proves that our vision of providing a browser that works on almost all phones will give millions a better way to access the Web.”
“More and more, consumers demand a faster and easier mobile browsing experience, and Opera Mini delivers just that. It should come as no great surprise that a universally useful and simple application like the Opera Mini browser is so popular,” commented Ilja Laurs, GetJar’s CEO and founder.
