The following news will leave a bitter sweet taste in your mouth. It’s not all good news but it isn’t that bad either. It looks like Verizon has finally caught up with the whole App Store trend and wants to launch one for itself. And considering its large subscribers base, I’m surprised Verizon hasn’t announced one earlier. But here’s where things take a turn for the worst. Apparently Verizon will not support any other App Store out there besides its own. That means Verizon customers will not have access to BlackBerry App World or Windows Mobile Marketplace right from the start. What’s even more disturbing is that developers will have to submit twice the same app for approval if they want to make sure that Verizon customers will purchase that certain app.

Verizon is promising a “competitive” revenue-sharing program and from what we hear, purchasing future Verizon apps will require no credit card entry. Payment will be done through the Verizon account of each customer. More details will be released on July 28 at the Verizon Developer Community Conference and we’ll deliver them right to your computer soon!
