T-Mobile has confirmed in the US that it is working with developers to create an Apple like App Store for all, not just some of its handsets.
In a statement issued to moconews.com by Venetia Espinoza, T-Mobile's director of Mobile Applications and Partner Programs T-Mobile has said:
The deal is expected to run in a similar fashion to Apple's offering with developers sharing revenue with T-Mobile however rather than just work with one handset like the Apple App Store, to work with all T-Mobiles handset from the Sidekick to any newer Android based phones in the pipeline.
Apple currently takes a sign-up fee and 30 percent of all sales of all paid for applications in the App Store.
According to some commentators the impact of this move by T-Mobile could set off a wave of changes in the industry as other operators and handset manufacturers move to emulate Apple's popular App Store offering.
