It looks like everyone is getting an App Store following Apple’s big hit. T-Mobile is the next name to be interested in an application store in order to offer more content to its subscribers. And it’s not the Android Market which will be a totally different thing despite the fact T-Mobile is going to be the first carrier to sell an Android device.
While the program is still very secret, T-Mobile’s officials have been interviewed at the CTIA and they did mention some of the features of the future virtual store. The store will evidently offer both free and paid applications but nothing which would contain any advertising. No Adroid or Sidekick applications will be allowed and the developer agreement will appear on T-Mobile’s website next week or so. T-Mobile will provide demo handsets and a virtual lab for testing out future applications. No API will be made available from the first day but it will be considered as an option for the future.
As for revenues and prices, free applications will be allowed at no cost to developers but bandwidth limitations will be in place. If the apps are priced the revenue split starts at 50/50, but various factors can help the developer obtain a 70/30 split.
That’s it for now, hopefully more details are going to arrive down the road.
