Yet another company is joining what seems as the unstoppable app store wave. It’s Colibria, which has launched App Center that is primarily designed for mobile operators to help them deploy their own mobile application stores.
Thanks to the flexible design, the system is deployed in a quick manner to the interested operators. Colibria does the hosting “work,” and the App Center can integrate with the existing internet communities such as social networks and instant messaging services, through a simple interface. Among the services supported are Twitter, Google Talk, Facebook, flickr, Windows Live Messenger and others.
Commenting on the announcement, Colibria’s CEO, Keith Gibson, said: “With a single integration point to access multiple social networks, internet IM services and content, the App Center is already showing from early indications across Colibria’s customer base that traffic can double when applications are introduced. Customer expectations are shifting, and operators need to be able to respond quickly to these expectations with innovative new services such as those available through the Colibria App Center.”

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
