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

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday August 9, 2008 @03:01AM from the cutting-off-a-slice-of-apple-pie dept.

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."

Nokia App Store? by PolygamousRanchKid+ · 2008-08-09 03:31 · Score: 3, Interesting

So I wonder what Nokia will have to offer in the way of an App Store in a couple of months when I plan to replace my N90 with an N96. Ideally, I'd like to be able to download stuff from http://maemo.org/, just like for my N800.
But, no, that would be dreaming.
