Vodafone App Store
Vodafone have announced the launch on their app store by year end in Britain, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.
- They’ll concentrate on apps for Symbian devices initally
- People will be able to buy apps and have them charged on their phone bill
- It’s a 70/30 revenue split between the developer and Vodafone
Vodafone claims that geotargetting will be their advantage over handset and software vendor offerings – their ownership of the network provides the location of the person which the app should be able to use. I don’t really see how that’s heaps different than location enabled iPhone apps that use teh GPS.
