 Franchises Emerge and Symbian OS Continues Full Steam Ahead - For the first time, two software developers and their applications made the best-seller's
lists across three different phone platforms.
HURST, Texas, Nov. 11 - Handango, the leading mobile downloads provider, today
released the October 2004 edition of the Handango Yardstick, a monthly report
on the state of the mobile downloads economy.
For the first time, two software developers and their applications made the best-seller's
lists across three different phone platforms each. MobiMate and Makayama are the
creators of the WorldMate series and the various editions of DVD to Mobile, respectively.
Their applications were best sellers in the Symbian OS(TM), Palm OS(R), BlackBerry(TM)
and Windows Mobile(TM) categories, indicating perhaps the emergence of two non-gaming
application franchises.
In October, the Sony Ericsson P910 made its debut on the list of top phones adding
content after launching in September 2004. The appearance of the Sony Ericsson
P910 to the list continues the trend of high demand for Symbian OS applications.
The October 2004 Handango Yardstick also reports average selling price by category,
number of new mobile applications, average selling price of digital media and
much more. Lastly, the October edition features the ten best- selling applications
by operating system.
