Games are the most Downloaded Apps on Mobile Devices

As if there was ever any doubt! Yes, a recent survey published by Nielsen confirms what we already suspected: games are the most downloaded apps on mobile devices.

And, unsurprisingly, Facebook, Google Maps and Weather Channel are the most popular apps across smartphones.

“While Apple may be best known for mobile apps, BlackBerry, Android and other devices also have a huge range of apps available in their stores, as well as in those operated by mobile service providers,” Nielsen explained in a blog post.

As such, Nielsen recently launched its “App Playbook,” which surveyed more than 4,200 people who had downloaded an application in the past 30 days.

Rumors have been doing rounds on the web about a Microsoft Office for iPad app. In fact, The Daily has gone on to even present what it calls the ‘first glimpse’ of the app running on the tablet. According to The Daily’s Matt Hickey, he got to spend some time with a ‘working prototype’ of the app and that the app for the Office suite has the same metro-look that Microsoft seems focused on, of late. Microsoft, on the other hand, has debunked these claims as ‘based on inaccurate rumors and speculation.’

Apart from the regular features of Twitter which include the ability to track topics in real-time and keep up-to-date with breaking news and find friends on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter has added a number of new enhancements to its iPhone app. These include the ability to copy and paste from tweets as well as profiles, a functionality which wasn’t supported in the earlier version of Twitter for iPhone app.
