Call me skeptic, but I find that figure very hard to believe. In a month they would reach est. half a billion downloads, someone at the PR department should be fired (or get a raise).


Your math is way off. 1.5 x 30 = 45, which is 455 million downloads short of half a billion.

The number itself may be way off, but the decimal point was only one off.
