Chillingo announced that it has surpassed 140 million game downloads across iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad since the App Store launched in June 2008. It’s a big win for the company which used to be known as the original publisher of Angry Birds. Later on, after EA bought Chillingo, Rovio decided to take an independent route and publish Angry Birds games by itself.
Today, Chillingo is probably best known as a publisher of Cut the Rope, one of the best selling iOS games released to date. Moreover, the company keeps co-operating with smaller indie developers.
Commenting on the news, Chillingo’s Co-General manager Chris Byatte said: “We’ve been able to publish phenomenal games for iOS that millions of players have loved and enjoyed, and we look forward to strengthening our ties with the growing indie developer community as they evolve and bring even more exciting titles to the App Store.”

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
