We’ve reported that ZHANG Xiangdong, the President and Founder of 3G.cn, gave a keynote speech at ChinaBang 2013 conference about the internationalization of its very popular Android app: GO Launcher. According to him, Go Launcher today has reached 200m users and 70% of them come from oversea. The company recently also set up an office in San Francesco, which obviously shows its ambition: to build Go Launcher a truly influential brand worldwide. Xiangdong really meant it!
Today in the email from Mr. LI Lao, Director of Branding of 3G.cn, it reads,
You are cordially invited to the launch of GO Launcher – an exciting new app for Google Play brought to you by the world’s fifth largest Android development team. We can’t wait to share with you our first public demonstration.
GO Launcher has 200 million users worldwide, making it the world’s most popular desktop software tool in Google Play, with total downloads ranking fifth. In 2012, GO Launcher established a North America branch office in cooperation with GetJar, Tapjoy, Facebook and other well-known companies. Bringing you the news about GO Launcher will be the app developers and co-founders of GO Launcher.

I personally am very exciting about 3G.cn’s international move. It’s for sure we will see more mobile app developer companies to officially enter international market.
although go launcher is pretty slick, it is increasingly a nagware, with limitless add ons and further nagware. it is SO in your face that I wish they had a single pack with all the works in it. but no. they have to have add ons with infinite nagware built into every corner. it feels like a massive exercise in futility. I just uninstalled go launcher because of their nags.
