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."

    I am in full development for the "I am even richer than those Apple noobs"-application, which can be bought for just $1000.

      My "I am poor" app, which only displays a frayed piece of string will only cell for 5 cents. I expect to sell at least 100 and thus be able to afford some hot soup !
