Samsung Application Store

Samsung has launched the Application Store to its domestic market. However, unlike Samsung’s European app store, this one is a part of SK Telecom’s existing app store, meaning that it works in a “shop inside a shop” manner. We’ve seen this happening in the “offline world” (Apple is especially known for this concept), and I’m wondering how will this work. As far as we (I) understood, Samsung will operate the app store independently from SK Telecom, to make things even more interesting. ;)

Among the apps that will be available from the store are Samsung’s WOW Winter Olympics app, as well as games like SimCity, Ferrari GT and Monopoly…

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.
