As demand for mobile apps continues to grow, AT&T* today released the top 10 performing applications based on new sales from January through March, offering a closer look at what consumers are doing with their phones beyond talking, texting and tweeting.
As reported in AT&T's first-quarter earnings, wireless data revenues for the company grew 39 percent year-over-year. A key contributor to this growth is use of mobile applications and games, many of which are available via AT&T MEdia Mall, AT&T's multimedia content store.

To further spur innovation in mobile applications, AT&T recently became the first U.S. carrier to facilitate a direct dialogue between its customers and apps developers with the launch of AT&T Apps Beta, available at www.att.com/appsbeta [2]. AT&T Apps Beta is a testing ground community that gives developers the chance to test their apps with AT&T customers and get direct feedback from users before they make those apps widely available. Applications that are successful within AT&T Apps Beta may be eligible for merchandising and marketing support from AT&T.
