Samsung reveals top 10 most downloaded bada apps
Need For Speed Shift in at number 2
With Samsung in the process of rolling out its Samsung Apps store globally, it's revealed the apps and games that have been downloaded the most between June and mid-July.
Half of the top 10 are games, with EA's Need For Speed Shift the best placed at number 2, behind flashlight app Magic Torch.
Of course, this being a most downloaded list, all of the top 10 are free.
Gameloft's Real Football 2010 is the other placed branded games at number 5. Now listed as £3, we assume there was a free campaign during the World Cup to boost downloads numbers.
The other game titles are typical arcade experiences including a basketball game, a penalty kick game, and a shooter.
