SAO PAULO, Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Just 10 weeks after being launched, Zeewe (www.zeewe.com), the new free-of-charge stand-alone HTML5 based app store, is already a great success among iPhone owners, with more than 160,000 users. As of this month, such number is expected to grow even more, as Android and iPad fans will also be able to access the store.

"Companies such as Google and Apple showed HTML5 will be the technology of the future for the design of Web applications. One of Zeewe's best edges is that it will soon be a store that will serve users from diverse operating systems. Designers will not need to invest in media to make their applications profitable and will rely on alternatives to other mobile application stores," Flavio Stecca, Movile's CTO, the company in charge of Zeewe, points out.

In his words, Zeewe also provides an easy collection feature inside the application itself through the integration with Mozca (www.mozcapag.com), the Latin platform for micro-payments of virtual goods through cell phones and other payment means.

With just two months in Beta, the store figures are surprising. There are more than 40 thousand applications used daily and 770 thousand visitors, and more than 106 thousand installed and used regularly some application.

"With the support to Android and the potential collection in global scale, we think we will rely on 100 thousand users a day within the first half year," Stecca bets. "Most users are from the United States, Mexico, China, United Kingdom and India. Brazil is the sixth country in terms of number of users. That demonstrates the demand for smart phone applications is global," he concludes.
