Disney praises Android. Says holiday season saw it become a viable mobile gaming platform
Apparently, the holiday season was a time of giving, family and downloading apps - as Flurry has told us.

And Disney Mobile was pretty popular too, as it's happy to tell us, with iOS downloads up 40 percent compared to 2010 over the period.

And its big hit of 2011, Where's My Water? received more than 6 million times on iOS and Android (free and paid versions), between 25-31 December.

More significant, however, Disney is particularly bigging up the power of Android.

"This was the first holiday season for Android as a viable mobile gaming platform, for the first time making up a significant portion of Disney Mobile's overall downloads," the company states.

To-date, Disney has three games available on Android Market, Where's My Water?, Puffle Launch and Pirates of the Caribbean, plus wallpaper and photo editing apps.
