Loading ...GetJar a mobile ecosystem alternative to iPhone
Mobile applications portal GetJar has clocked more than 300 million downloads from the community of mobile users who don’t own the ubiquitous Apple iPhone, the U.K.-based company said.
GetJar gives users a “mobile ecosystem” of mobile applications, including well-known platforms like Google Maps, Yahoo! Go, and Opera, and lesser-known sites like Nimbuzz, eBuddy and MyWaves.
Besides access to free applications, the portal also serves as a beta-test community for developers looking to evaluate products and get to market quickly.

Jorge and I take the same GO bus, and during our ride to the office he told me how social networking over the Web is working wonders for his family-run business.
