If end users can have their app stores, why wouldn’t developers get the same treatment? Appcelerator thinks this is the untapped market and has decided to do something about it. They used the CODESTRONG Developer Conference to launch its Open Mobile Marketplace, allowing ISVs and cloud providers to sell software and solutions across multiple mobile operating systems on Appcelerator’s Titanium platform. The potential for companies is pretty big, considering Appcelerator’s developer community counts more than 1.5 million members.
The new marketplace is launched with 50 leading mobile solutions, including PayPal, Salesforce, Millennial Media, AdMob, Box.net, Bump, DoubleClick, Greystripe, Omniture (Adobe), Scanbuy, Twilio and Urban Airship; and a full gaming platform with such modules as Gamekit, OpenGL (graphics) and Box2D (physics).
The service will enable any third party to sell native and HTML5 mobile modules, app templates, design elements, and cloud extensions to Appcelerator’s entire developer community. This in turn will allow developers to use existing components to beef-up their apps…
Sounds cool if you ask me.

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.
