China Mobile app store is in the beta?

China Mobile’s app store looks almost live now. Although they said the official opening of the store is set for September of this year, a dedicated site is/was accessible for few days now. From there, we could see the main categories include games, themes, software, music, reading (ebooks?) and videos. The site looks nicely designed and I guess it’s now in the fine-tuning and mobile content submission phase. We’ve heard the world’s largest mobile operator in terms of number of subscribers will ask for 50% cut of all sales, but I doubt that will stop content developers in submitting their apps. The potential is too huge to be missed…

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.
