AppCity.com launches like a global mobile app store, but it’s an app catalog
I know many people don’t like the idea of reading about a “yet another app store,” but I’m a big fan of competition and when I got an email in my inbox informing me that the “first global online store for mobile applications” AppCity.com has been launched, I decided to check it out.
