UK - has 8% of global smartphones and downloaded 860 million apps

[research2guidance] Smartphone penetration has more than doubled in the UK during the past two years. The UK holds 8% of global smartphone app downloads market.

860m applications downloads in 2010

Smartphone users in the UK downloaded over 860 million applications in 2010 with 105 million downloads counting for paid apps. Revenue reached £280 million for the UK’s total paid application download.
