The Top Mobile Apps of 2010, According to Apple, GetJar and Others

GetJar, an independent app store, is the second largest in the world in terms of downloads. Due to its size, the trends it sees are worth watching, too.

GetJar provided us with two year-end lists. One is a standard top 10 list based on downloads. But because that list includes the obvious players like Facebook and Google, we also asked for a top 10 newcomers list too. For this one, GetJar provided the top 10 downloaded apps that were also uploaded to its site in 2010.

These lists are below:
