Smule recognized by Apple

Smule’s Leaf Trombone: World Stage and I Am T-Pain iPhone applications were recently recognized by Apple as two of the top applications for all of 2009, with T-Pain ranking #4 and Leaf Trombone ranking #9 overall. Smule’s applications have come to dominate the music category in the iPhone store, with T-Pain and Ocarina continuing to be two of the top sellers in this category. To date, I Am T-Pain users have created over twelve million recordings using the application. Ocarina was released over thirteen months ago, in November of 2008, and remains a top seller.

If you’d like to speak with someone at Smule I’d be happy to put you in touch with founders Jeffrey Smith or Ge Wang. I can also assist you with promotional copies of Smule apps if you’d like to try them out. For more information on the company I invite you to visit www.smule.com.
