Samsung today announced that its Application Seller Site will be available from tomorrow with the site serving as a bridge for developers and content providers to connect to the end-users.
The site allows developers to post relevant content and applications at their anticipated price on target markets. These would then be filtered through a backend system to be promoted appropriately on the Samsung Application Store.
Samsung is allowing developers and content providers having applications and content built over Symbian or Windows Mobile Operating System to sign up for one USD.
Kanghyun Kwon, Vice President of Samsung’s Content Service Team, Media Solution Center, said, “We launched a Samsung Application Store beta service in January in the UK and have been collaborating with developers and content providers through Samsung Mobile Innovator, a developer program for Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Java from October, 2008. With the launch of Samsung’s Application Seller Site, we can complete the total eco-system for better, easier, and more exciting mobile experiences ranging from compelling mobile phones to content and applications. We are aiming to achieve a win-win business model for end-users, mobile operators, and industry influencers, such as developers and content providers.”
Registered members will be able to purchase sales contract online as well as check the certification status in real-time. Records pertaining to sales, revenues and popularity will also be displayed.
Samsung plans to launch and expand an official Application Store in Europe during 3Q of this year.
The Samsung Application Seller Site will be an important part of the Samsung Application Store along with Samsung Mobile Innovator, a support program for developers, and the application store itself, said the company. |
