T-Mobile USAs app store will offer free downloads as long as theyre not too data heavy.
The US operator, speaking to MocoNews, revealed further details of its much-vaunted new business model, which eschews the ‘walled garden’ in favour of giving developers and publisher open access to its portal.Key features include:
· Service will initially focus on basic applications.
· Free apps will be allowed, but not with advertising
· Android and Sidekick devices will not be included.
· The site will provide a rate card from next week
· Developer’s initial cut is 50 per cent, but may increase to 70 per cent. It’s determined by the amount of bandwidth the applications use. Extra points are available for developers providing added customer care.
· T-Mobile will not only provide technical support and testing.
· The traditional portal will endure, but partners can use the open developer programme if they wish.
