Samsung is seeing some strong growth in its smart TVs, announcing that two million apps have been downloaded across its installed base.
Samsung’s TV app marketplace launched last year and this milestone comes just two months after Samsung announced that one million apps had been downloaded from its service — must’ve been a heck of a holiday season for them.
The benchmark looks even more impressive when considering that it took 268 days for the one-million download mark to be reached.
According to Samsung, YouTube and Hulu Plus are among the most commonly-downloaded apps. Other big apps include AccuWeather, Blockbuster’s on demand service, ESPN’s apps, Google Maps, Pandora and Twitter.
Samsung previously said it believes that 6.5 million of its smart TVs were sold in 2010 and that the majority of its new TV sets will include its apps platform. Samsung expects to sell 20 million TV sets by the end of this year.
