doubleTwist, slick Media Player for Android is growing. A lot.
In February, we reported that the application has passed an important milestone, drawing one million users per month between mobile and desktop applications.
Today, the company uses much more: they get 1 million users per day between doubleTwist on Android phones and tablets.
Now, it is clear that this does not mean the user base increased by a factor 30 (some people are going to use several times a month). But it is a sign that the company receives significant traction, and that its users keep coming back for more. This is especially important for mobile, where users are notorious for being fickle and giving up on the application in a day or two.
doubleTwist President Monique Farantzos said that the increase stemmed from increased brand, the company received the start of construction for Android. The first version of their Android app was released in June 2010, and since they introduced numerous updates as excellent AirSync, which allows wireless sync photos, music and movies between Android device and the computer without the need for wires (you don't even have to sync it automatically initiates when you connect to a wireless network). Farantzos said that companies, in partnership with T-Mobile also provided an early boost.
Some other key stats: 84% of the users application from English speaking countries, and today the company is rolling out internationalized versions with support for Chinese, Korean, German, French and other languages to help boost international growth.
And it also has some great news to share: while doubleTwist has focused exclusively on Android for awhile, he's going to start expanding to other platforms. Intel said it has licensed its wireless synchronization technology for AirSync MeeGo platform, and it sounds like the application can come to Windows phone and possibly Web OS down the line (it is not confirmed, but pointed out that Android alternatives can see increased traction after the transaction, Motorola/Google).
doubleTwist's mission is to organize and feed content to any device.
