I had no idea they were backed by Accell Partners. Perhaps because they're based in the UK, and not the US? Great find! Thanks! Congrats to GetJar! 1.5 billion app downloads is ridiculous.

I predicted a consolitation of these app stores in the near future or at least some sort of partnership between smaller ones, enough to put up a good fight with Apple.
