MUMBAI: IndiaONE, the music app launched by Next Mediaworks (who also own the radio brand 94.3 Radio One) for ipad and iphone has topped the latest iTunes charts.

Radio One MD Vineet Singh Hukmani said, Paid apps are a stricter measure of consumer confidence and we are happy we are on the right track. Almost all Indian music apps are free. We decided to be different and we are glad it's working, This is just a great beginning but we have a long way to go before we meet our internal targets and benchmark....

The app was designed by 2ergo, MD Raj Singh said, We are glad to bring our international standards of app development to India and are very happy to see the IndiaONE app rise to such heights in a short duration of time....

As per the charts, IndiaONE is the number one paid app in the entertainment category and in the �top grossing ipad apps'. The company release stated that the reason for the number 1 status in the apple charts was because :

1.It was designed to be �wholesome in content' specifically for the ipad environment and really has no parallel since it has music + news + radio+ karaoke + special star features like unplugged and celeb countdowns

2.It delivers excellent value for money as at US1.99 you can get so much.

3.The simple launch communication targeted Indian ipad owners largely in the US , Canada, UK, India, UAE, Australia and it has the ability to work for Indians everywhere

IndiaONE will soon be available on Blackberry.
