Overlooked by many especially those who trumpeted a possible buyout of HP's webOS business a few months back Samsung has released a bevy of stats detailing the performance of its own platform, bada.
It might not be challenging Android at the top of the table, but during the firm's bada developer day in London, Samsung revealed a total of 110 million apps have been downloaded from its Samsung Apps store to-date.
The bada battle
That's spread across 8.1 million devices, with 5.3 million app downloads around 4.8 percent having been made in the UK.
Given the first bada handset launched in June 2010, that means the platform is shifting around 500,000 units every month, with Samsung claiming it expects the OS to make up 17 percent of its output in the UK in 2012.
According to figures released by Canalys and Strategy Analytics, Samsung shipped a total of 27.3 million smartphones or more in Q3 2011.
At its current rate, that means bada makes up around 6 percent of Samsung smartphone shipments worldwide, though it's believed bada enjoys particular strength in Asian markets.
