Sony Ericsson announced that developers are now free to submit their apps to the company’s application store – PlayNow Arena. Announced at the beginning of June, the upcoming store will be operated by GetJar and will offer Apple-like 70/30 deal to developers. Moreover, they [developers] are free to participate and there are annual fees.
At the moment, the handset maker is accepting Java ME and Symbian S60 5th edition applications and games only, but the plan is to expand to other platforms supported by Sony Ericsson — i.e. Windows Mobile and later Android.
To submit your app, you should be a member of the Sony Ericsson Developer World (membership is free), and then use your username and password on a dedicated website.

Dusan Belic
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.
