App stores aplenty
Posted: April 2nd, 2009 | Author: James Barnes | Filed under: blog | No Comments »Amidst all the noise from CITA you might have read that RIM’s Blackberry App World went live yesterday. The cynics are asking: “Yet another App Store for mobile downloads?” Personally, I believe this is great news for Developers and the mobile business in general. Looking at RIM’s close yesterday, the markets obviously agree with me.
Why are more App Stores a good thing? Education, Education, Education: five years ago my Mum didn’t know how to download an MP3, now she can BitTorrent with the best of them. How did she learn to do that? The knowledge entered the mainstream and ceased to be something that normal people believe is the preserve of the techno-geek. In other words, it became easy to understand.
In 2009, downloading-applications-to-your-mobile is climbing through the Early Majority to the top of Rogers curve. Brace yourself for the roller-coaster ride ahead.
You can download MO-Call for free from Blackberry App World, we’ll even give you some trial credit. Why spend more than you have to on your international calls?
