Vodacom APP STORE ...

[BeVonk!]

CEO tweeted this: Just announced an SA apps ecosystem including local appstore launching next week. Watch this space!

Jannie, waarmee is julle besig?

Noooooo....

um... well i guess buying apps with your airtime will be nice but unless they foster developers in SA I can't see this taking off.

 

[BeVonk!]

I'm sure the idea would be to boost local development.

 

[BeVonk!]

Which OS or OS's?

Don't see this taking off. Which operator in the world had success with content?
Network Operators provide connectivity, and that is the high and low of it.

I believe the current app stores are enough for local development and "clever" things like App Stores are a bit out of Vodacom's league.

Which OS's will they target?

Which OS's will they target?

probably only Android... since you cant host your own iPhone app store, and the others are, frankly, useless. ; )

Great, another reason to root and reflash your phone: to get rid of crap like this, which will no doubt come bundled on every Android phone they sell.
