TIM Brazil announced a multi-platform app store, powered by Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM)’s Plaza Retail. Simply called TIM App Store, it supports a range of platforms including Java, Brew, Flash and Android; and it is also planed to add support for Windows Mobile, Palm (NSDQ: PALM), Symbian and LiMo.
The launch is planned for the first quarter of 2010, when interested users will be able to access it, no matter which TIM phone they happen to use. The store will be accessible either using a dedicated application or through mobile website.
Finally in an effort to spur the application development, the two companies will offer a series of workshops for developers in November throughout Brazil, at which they will present the new business model and the benefits offered by the TIM App Store.
