ASTRO File Manager Reaches 15 Million Downloads as Version 3.0 is Prepared
The folks at Metago have announced that they have reached 15 million downloads in the Android market. Being one of the oldest (and one of the best) file managers on Android, we can’t exactly say we didn’t expect to hear this bit of news sooner or later. We’re not sure if Metago includes devices that come preinstalled with ASTRO (quite a few), but it’s an impressive feat anyway.
With that, they’ve mentioned that they’ll be releasing version 3.0 of the file manager soon. Version 3.0 will, well, it will add native support for Android 3.0+ meaning your file management experience will look as good as it ever has with all of the screen real estate that comes with Android tablets.
ASTRO already boasts an impressive list of features, including compressed file support, network-enabled file management (through the addition of modules) and more. Can’t really ask for a whole lot more for free (ad-supported). We look forward to seeing how their Honeycomb application fares when it’s set to release sometime soon. Read on for full press details.
