Samsung Apps TV, the world’s first application store for the television, has passed the five million download mark globally. The apps for smart TV have seen its downloading tally break 5 million since its official launch last March.

More telling is how the rate at which Samsung consumers are downloading TV apps has rapidly increased. After reaching the 2 million download mark in January following the February 2010 launch of Samsung Apps, it took just four more months to reach 5 million. Samsung consumers are downloading Apps for their television at an average rate of 100,000 apps every four days. Samsung Apps is now available in 120 countries.
