We have twittered about this last week already, but wanted to call out via our blog as well. We are among the last 20 of the Internet World Business Idea 2010. To keep this post short, please click over there and vote for apprupt by clicking on the button on the bottom of the page (it’s in German). Thanks in advance!

We have great news today, as our first In-App App Store has gone live with the launch of the Financial Times Germany iPhone App on friday. The apprupt App Store will deliver the most relevant apps to Financial Times Germany readers.

We have been working together with the FT Germany for a while already regarding their mobile website, so both parties decided to extend the successful cooperation to the new iPhone app. It is doing really well in the Apple App Store so far, as number 9 of most downloaded free apps, almost 5 stars and over 100 user reviews already – we expect downloads and overall position in the App Store to only go up in the coming weeks. It is a great app, so download it here, if you haven’t already.

iPhone app publishers that want to deliver relevant app content to their users and add value to their existing traffic, get in touch.

Developers that want to reach out to their target group and increase downloads, sign up now.

We will keep the good news coming.
