GetJar, which touts itself as the world’s largest free app store, announced reaching an important milestone for its GetJar Gold program. The company has given away $1 million worth of free “premium apps” to its consumers since launching the program, with downloads of free apps increasing 5000% over the same period.
New apps are added to the GetJar Gold catalog daily and developers joining the program include BBC Worldwide (Top Gear), Gamelion (Doodle Fit) and Konami (Krazy Kart Racing). In addition, other great apps and games in the Gold Program include Imperio, Handy Games Guns ‘n’ Glory, Herocraft’s Farm Frenzy and TouchType’s SwiftKey X.
We’ve nothing but good words to say about GetJar’s efforts to help both publishers/developers and end-users. On one hand, developers get to reach users they wouldn’t reach otherwise (and get some money from in-app ads), while users get to download some great apps free of charge. It’s a win-win!

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.
