Sometimes pictures are better than words, and I found that to be the case for Distimo's latest round of numbers on mobile app stores and applications. So rather than write it, here it is in pictures.

Mobile App Stores Shorten Time to Market and Time to Payment
Mobile app stores have shortened "time to market" for mobile apps, especially compared to older distribution methods such as placement directly on mobile phones.
Mobile app stores also mean developers get paid faster, according to Telefonica.

GetJar Raises $11 Million
Fast-growing mobile app store GetJar, which says it has had more than one billion apps downloaded from its store to date, making it second in size only to Apple’s app store, has raised $11 million in a second round of funding.
GetJar’s app store includes about 70,000 apps for all of the major mobile operating systems, including Apple’s, although CEO Ilja Laurs tells us that most of the company’s growth is coming from “open” platforms where there is less of an “established and convenient place” to get apps.

He says the company, which he calls the “Wal-Mart for mobile apps,” will invest much of the new cash in building up its presence on the Android platform.
