At last, inside the app store

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile app store,
which launched Tuesday, looks a little plain
compared with other app stores, like the darker•themed BlackBerry App World and Google's
Android Market.
But the essential elements are here, like a search
bar and browsahle categories.

Windows mobile app store, My Phone service officially opening I CTIA 2011 - CNET Re... Page 2 of 6

On Tuesday morning, as Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5
phones hit the market, two of its mobile services are
officially launching.

Windows Marketplace
for Mobile—screenshots

Brand new to 6.5 phones are Windows Marketplace for
Mobile--an application storefront like that found on
iPhone, BlackBerry, and every other major mobile OS-and a Web-based backup and sharing service called My

Phone.
We've heard plenty about both services in the days and
months leading up to this release. The much-anticipated
Windows Marketplace for Mobile has a well-thought out
model that will eventually include both a Web and onphone storefront, and a flexible billing system that lets you
purchase apps using either a credit card or your monthly
phone bill (depending on the carrier). According to
Microsoft, the PC catalog isn't available now but is
planned to be released before the year's end.
There's also a self-service return policy that gives you a
full refund from unwanted apps within a 24-hour period.
There's a caveat, of course. You'll be limited to one refund
per month to avoid abusing the system. The app store
launches in 29 countries on Tuesday.

In our pre-release demo, we found the app store to be a

little visually boring, though serviceable. Following a proven app store model, Windows
Marketplace for Mobile has a search bar, a featured apps showcase, and a list of browseable
categories. In them, you'll only see applications that work on your phone model and in your
country. There's also an personalized screen that helps you manage the apps you have. As with
iPhones and BlackBerrys, if you switch devices, you can easily re-download the apps you installed
through the Marketplace. You'll sign on with your Windows Live ID. We heard before the launch
that you won't be able to create your own reviews until the second phase, but in truth, rating and
reviews are fully functional today.
Microsoft didn't tell us how many apps were expected in the app store Tuesday morning, but with
82 games ready to download, there are at least 100 apps altogether. We already see Facebook,
Netflix Mobile, Zagat to Go, Windows Live, and the Midomi music app. Most app prices range so
far from free to about $10, though the most expensive one we spotted so far is a $25 golf
calculator. We saw quite a few $20 games as well.

If you're not planning to pick up a Windows 6.5 phone yet, Marketplace should also be available to
download to 6.0 and 6.1 phones before the end of 2009. That's been the official word, but at least
one of our readers has gotten it to work on a 6.1 phone. Download at your own risk.

Manage My Phone online.
(Credit: Microsoft)

Unlike the application Marketplace, the My Phone backup and media sharing service is well
known from its public beta. Through its online dashboard, you can access and manage contacts,
calendar, texts, and photos and videos (no e-mail or apps). At launch, you'll be able to post photos
to Windows Live, Flickr, Facebook, and MySpace, with bulk uploads and captioning to come later
on.
The new features are mostly premium, and center on remotely finding and securing your phone. If
you're in the U.S., you can force your phone to ring even when it's turned to silent or vibrate. You
can remotely lock the phone, map it—this wakes up the phone and plots it on a map--and can erase
the contents remotely, the most extreme measure. My Phone will show you the handset's last
known location for free.
My Phone is treated like application package and can be downloaded in the Marketplace for
Mobile. The premium features can be purchased through the online dashboard. Until November
30, Microsoft is offering a free trial of My Phone's commercial capabilities.
As in the beta, My Phone limits you to 200MB in media storage. According to Microsoft, fewer
than 5 percent of the current users hit that ceiling.
Who gets it?

Windows Marketplace for Mobile launches on Tuesday in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil,

News: Meizu M8 appstore to become reality
this month?
Posted on December 9, 2009
Now that Meizu is setting the M8 up with some new firmware and further turning its back on the
handset's KIRFish origins, how about an.austore? Apparently that's exactly what's happening, as
the following video will attest. Not too many details here — it's called MyStore, and the company is
planning to split revenue with developers 30 / 70. The store is currently being tested internally, and
with any luck it should see the light of day as a part of the new firmware release later this month. If
you've been dying for a chance to play a Chinese knockoff of BubbleWrap, that day is finally drawing
near!

News: Next Nintendo Handheld May Come
with Free 3G Wireless
Posted on October 31, 2009
Nintendo is looking at the business model of Amazon's Kindle as it considers the future for its
portable consoles, the company's president said on Friday.
"I'm interested because it's a new business model in which the user doesn't bear the communications
cost," Satoru Iwata said.
Amazon's portable electronic reader connects to a 3G mobile phone network to download new books,
but the service is included in the device's upfront cost.
Mr Iwata's comments highlight a tactic Nintendo could use to counter the strategic threat to its DS
handheld console from the iPhone and other smartphones that download games from "App Stores".
At present, the DS is able to download contents via a wi-fi connection, but most games are sold on
cartridges that are expensive to produce and distribute.
"Only people who can pay thousands of yen a month [in mobile phone subscriptions] can be iPhone
customers. That doesn't fit Nintendo customers because we make amusement products," Mr Iwata
said.

Blog: Things are starting to take shape!
Posted on October 31, 2009
Today we entered information on the first 5 mobile app stores on the right. Some of it is not complete,
but we're working on it.
We have learned that Palm will allow to post open source apps ( with certain licenses, i.e MIT, BSD,
etc) for free in the web catalog, but will charge other apps $50 per app to post in 'on device' catalog
on top of a $99 program fee. Palm, please don't make things complicated, and don't alienate your
devs. I personally loved developing for Palm OS, and the fact that there were enormous amount of
apps for it, and I'm hoping Palm doesn't screw up again. WebOS looks awesome, wouldn't want to
lose it. Google on the other hand has a simple fee structure — $25 one time developer fee. That's it.
That's how we like it. Pay attention Palm.

Blog: App Store List is launched.
Posted on October 29, 2009
This list was launched in hopes to help developers to distribute their applications to as many markets
as possible.
We wanted to show mobile developers that there's life beyond Apple App Store and that the mobile
landscape is expanding. As of today there are over 100,000 applications in the Apple App Store and
as much as we love it, it is getting hard to compete in it. Perhaps some of you would be interested to
migrate development to emerging app stores such as Palm App Catalog and Android Market. Perhaps
you didn't know about other app sTORTEITher way we're here to give you as much information as we
can.
We believe the future is in mobile, however we also like desktop publishing platforms such as Steam
that made distributing games much easier for indie developers.
Following the success of the Apple App Store many other manufacturers and vendors will start
offering their own version ofamstores, and we want to make sure you, the developer, is aware what's
out there. Already big players such Intel and Dell announced an app store for netbooks. With the
growth of e-book readers we believe that they will too provide application store and we want to be
here to break the news. Linux vendors will not want to be left behind and they too will offer app
stores eventually if not already. We want you to see the options, explore the options, and make
educated decisions.

Samsung promises new app store, convergence, and Digital TV
Moment

Samsung is testing a new version of the Samsung Moment that can digitally stream TV to the phone,
and the company also took the time to announce plans to launch a new app store available for multiple
devices.
At CES, Samsung announced that it would use a remodeled version of the Samsung Moment to debut
the world's first mobile phone with single-chip ATSC technology. This remixed Moment will
digitally broadcast local stations, news, sports, and other channels to the Moment's beautiful
AMOLED screen. The phone will only be available for testing purposes in Washington, D.C. Current
Moment owners will be unable to get this new feature because their phone lacks the new ATSC chip
necessary to stream digital TV to the phone. I asked a Samsung Mobile rep if there would be some
type of upgrade program available and she said it's too early to discuss that considering that the new
TV content technology is only in testing.
Samsung also confirmed that it too will be launching anapp store. Samsung Apps will be a
distribution point for Samsung-targeted apps for mobile phones and a new line of televisions slated
for release later this year. The apps will be developed through an SDK that is "open" and able to work
across multiple platforms. The company also stressed that it would support integrated services across
devices, leaving open the possibility that you could eventually use your phone as a remote for your
Samsung HDTV and stream content from the TV to your phone. The program or event would be
paused on one device and resumed at the last point of play when switching to another. The Omnia II

SurfKitchen powers T-Mobile's
web2go app store
By Sarah Reedy

Surfkitchen signs up first tier-one US operator, powering T-Mobile's web2go app
storefront on the Nokia 7510
Mobile Internet platform provider SurfKitchen (http://www.surfkitchen.com/) announced today
it is powering T-Mobile's (NYSE:DT (http://www.google.com/finance?g=DT) ) wireless
application store, web2go (http://www.t-mobile.com/promotions/pcmtemplate.aspx?
passet=Pro Pro Web2Go&WT.mc n=3GLP Web2go&WT.mc t=OnsiteAd) , on the Nokia
(NYSE:NOK (http://www.google.com/finance?g=NOK) ) 7510. This is the former on-device
portal (ODP) company's first US-based tier one customer, but chief technology officer Dave
Evans said the company plans to scale it across more T-Mobile devices and more US
operators.
SurfKitchen is providing the user interface for consumers to discover and purchase content,
as well integrating with T-Mobile's existing content provider. The companies initially made the
store available to a select group of T-Mobile customers in December, but are now opening it
up to all Nokia 7510 owners. While the scope of the project is small today, Evans said that TMobile will likely follow a similar trajectory of its two major partners Telstra and Orange.
France Telecom's Orange has been a partner to SurfKitchen since 2007 when the vendor
began powering Orange's walled garden ODP for ringtones and wallpaper. Since that time
the carrier has evolved its content strategy to be one of the most aggressive in competing
with its own app store (http://www.mobileburn.com/news.isp?Id=8380) , the Orange App
Shop
(http://www.orangepartnercom/site/enuk/mobile/application shop/p application shop.jsp) .

SurfKitchen provides the billing integration for Orange and worked closely to develop
touchscreen support and ensure that the app store was given prominence over the handset
maker's own version.
Last May, SurfKitchen also extended its relationship with Australian operator Telstra
(http://www.surfkitchen.com/press-centre/press-releases/telstra-selects-surfkitchen-to-powerinnovative-new-mobile-user-interface/) to include an idle-screen experience in which users

Page 2 of 3

are presented with a catalog of services and search integration when their mobile phone
powers up. Since SurfKitchen launched on Telstra in June, the operator has seen 60% of its
customers using data compared to the feature-phone average of 20%, Evans said. Like TMobile, both Orange and Telstra started with a limited experience on just one device, but
have evolved their ODPs to app stores that are an integral part of the consumer experience,
he said.
"I think it's an experience curve people go up," Evans added. "They start in the short-term
testing the water. All the operators have launched on one device and see how it goes then
load up on more devices. With Orange and Telstra, we are just so much more advanced,
we've worked with them for years, but I expect T-Mobile to go a similar path. And I expect it
to go faster. T-Mobile will catch up very quickly, but is just takes time for people internally
within operators to get a grip on what needs to be done to retail solutions."
With its roots in ODPs, SurfKitchen's experience in building walled garden app portals lent
itself well to powering T-Mobile's web2goautore, which is essentially an updated appenabled version of T-Zones
(http://connectedplanetonline.com/wireless/commentary/application-store-launches0224/index.htmD , Evans said. T-Mobile is supporting Android on its hipher level handsets
(http://connectedplanetonline.com/wireless/news/t-mobile-android-0923/index.html) , but he

said the SuriKitchen app-store experience is superior in that it provides integrated billing,
built-in services and the ability to bundle apps. SurfKitchen would also like to work with other
US carriers, all of which are chasing the app-store opportunity. He said that while AT&T
relies on Qualcomm on the low-end for Brew apps and device manufacturers' own app
stores on its higher-end smartphones, it has a gap in the mid-range that SurfKitchen would
like to fill.
SurfKitchen's software runs on smartphones and feature phones, including Symbian Series
60, Microsoft, Java, Brew, RIM and Android phones. The company also counts Telefonica
Moviles Espana, Maxis, Saudi Telecom and Cincinnati Bell in the US as customers.

application store, as part of the company's claims that they are embracing a truly open
wireless ecosystem (despite continued evidence to the contrary). Speaking at the CTIA
trade show, Verizon announced that their "VCast Apps" store would finally launch next
Monday, March 29 with about 300 applications. According to Verizon, the store will first be
made available on select Blackberry phones, and users will be able to buy applications via
their cellphone bill. The company told attendees their app store will somehow "take priority"
over RIM's App World or the Android Marketplace -- so we'll have to see exactly what that
means -- and whether Verizon is "open" to selling applications like Google Voice.

This Verizon store better not disable the BB app world. A lot of

Re: Better Not "Take Priority"
I imagine it will be very similar to how Sprint currently runs their own
store. By default, the link for the Sprint Store is pre-loaded onto your

Maybe it will "take priority" in the same way that Bing "takes
priority" as the search engine in the Blackberry browser on
certain models such as the Storm2. t) They removed all other
choices such as Google and Yahoo search, and replaced it with
one choice: Bing. Yes, you can still navigate to Google or
wherever and do your search, but you cannot just click on the
"search" box for anything other than Bing.

I'd rather pay for apps when I purchase them
Am I the only one who would rather pay for apps as you buy them
instead of waiting until the end of the month with your cell bill? It
so much easier to track my spending that way, and, from a budget
perspective, I prefer the expense to show up the month I make
the purchase, not a month later.
Yes, I know it doesn't really matter, but for whatever reason I
never bought ringtones etc. for fear of inflating my cell bill, but I
have no problem spending $5 a month on apps that I pay for as I
buy.

No you're not but I think thats exactly why they do it because
ppl will probably tend to spend more cause they won't really
know how much they really spent till they get the bill..
Theres plenty of sheep out there thats for sure.

If this new App
disables the Android Marketplace then I am
definitely going to leave.

Just root your phone and don't sweat it.

I would certainly hope big red wouldn't disable the Android
Marketplace. Most people who buy their Android phones buy
them for Android applications. As a Droid user, I would be very
irked if they did such a thing.

I doubt that will happen. If it did it would only lead to ATT
airing even more ads starring an even fatter Luke Wilson
proclaiming how superior the ATT app store is (but only for 1
phone).
