T-Mobile To Open App Store For All of Their Phones

tsa brings news that T-Mobile will be developing their own application store to compete with Apple's popular distribution scheme. Their aim is to be capable of bringing new services to all of their customers. Excerpting: "Developers will submit their applications online; the revenue-share agreement will be based on how much the application uses the network; and the applications will be presented to the user in order of popularity, not according to T-Mobile's preferences. It's all pretty straightforward, but the more interesting aspect is that this will apply to all the carrier's platforms from upcoming Android to Java to Sidekick and Windows Mobile."

Re:Nokia App Store?

Did you use Maeomo to install apps/themes? If they won't change how theme works on Symbian or freely get those Apps signed, I am not installing anything unless I buy a full feature Symbian antivirus like Kaspersky. It made me really really paranoid here. It is also because a "theme" comes with a sis/sisx installer in Symbian scene. Not like .thm which is simply a tar.gz file on Sony Ericsson scene. How the hell I am supposed to know if that .sisx doesn't include some "extras" ?

Everything is either unsigned, self signed or plain "expired certificate". We should be also trusting to MCafee I think, they have some logo there.. Like MCafee has any expertise or prestige in handheld market like F-Secure or Kaspersky does.

I wouldn't be really surprised if T-Mobile does same mistakes.
