T-Mobile to ease developer access
Mobile operators reached out to application developers on Thursday at Mobilize, a conference that brought together the main parties interested in making the mobile Internet a success.Carriers are loosening their control over devices and applications in hopes of getting a stake in a gold mine of innovative products uncovered through high-speed mobile data networks. While the iPhone remains the standard according to most speakers at the one-day San Francisco conference, Apple's and AT&T's rivals have their own plans to pull in valued subscribers.[ Get the latest on mobile developments with InfoWorld's Mobile Report newsletter. ]T-Mobile USA highlighted its DevPartner Community, now in beta testing, which is designed to slash the time and effort required to get an application on the fourth-largest U.S. mobile operator's phones."Historically, as carriers, we've been very difficult to do business with," said Venetia Espinoza, T-Mobile's director of mobile applications and partner programs, during a panel discussion at the conference.Typically, developers who want their applications offered on a carrier's phone typically have had to get them approved, or "signed," by the carrier and for each device individually. It has been difficult just to find the right person to deal with and then taken a long time to negotiate a business agreement, Espinoza said.The DevPartner Community includes an open rate card listing the financial terms for delivering applications, and a "click-through" agreement in which developers can read through a set of terms, click "yes" and have a deal with T-Mobile, she said. The arrangement won't cover all types of applications, so T-Mobile's traditional system is still in place, but the carrier is committed to easing relationships with developers, she said."What used to be months, we hoping will take days," Espinoza said.T-Mobile also is expected to be the first carrier offering a phone based on Google's Android platform, set to be announced next Tuesday.Rich Miner, group manager of mobile platforms at Google, lamented the hassles of traditional development for phones earlier in the day. There has been no way for small developers to predict their future, he said."If you're a small developer, for each handset, for each carrier, each market, you've got to do the signing a number of times. ... You start adding up the resources that you need to get over all of these hurdles, and they become pretty unsurmountable," Miner said.Android, which will become open source around the time the first Android handset comes out, is intended as an easier platform for developers to work with, he said. However, most observers see continuing fragmentation as Android joins a growing list of mobile platforms and Google allows a large degree of customization.

T-Mobile Paves 3G Freeway for Android
T-Mobile USA has been beefing up its nascent 3G mobile wireless services network, announcing that 3G will be ready to run in 21 markets by the middle of next month and will reach 27 major markets by the end of this year. The company says the planned expansion will deliver T-Mobile 3G services to more than two-thirds of the company's current data customers -- but T-Mobile will continue to expand throughout 2009.
T-Mobile Shadow II Arriving Soonish
http://tmonews.com/2008/09/shadow-ii-release-date/ "TmoNews grabs the low-down: the T-Mobile Shadow II (which we've been seeing crop up quite a bit of late) should be available on October 15th for $149.99 after rebate. It'll be a solid update to the original Shadow but nothing earth-shattering: Windows Mobile 6.1 will be there, but as of right now it doesn't look like it will support T-Mobile's still-young 3G network." There really isn't much to say about the T-Mobile Shadow II, also codenamed HTC Cleopatra. Minus a slightly modified body style and the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 there really isn't much to look forward to. There is however one really cool feature to look forward too. The included Wi-Fi capabilities will allow you to use the T-Mobile @home service which is T-Mobile's VOIP offerings. If anything this device kind of feels like the release of Windows ME to hold off the hounds until Windows XP was finished. Also with HTC's new push on design and their line of Touch Diamond devices, even though it is slick looking, this device feels like a fish out of water.

Android-powered HTC Dream to sell for $199 on T-Mobile
Filed under: Handsets, HTC, T-Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, Android With under a week to go before the HTC Dream is officially unveiled in the Big Apple, the Wall Street Journal has given us something juicy to gnaw on for the time being: a price. Unsurprisingly positioned to compete directly with the iPhone 3G, the Android-powered HTC Dream / G1 will go for a cool $199 (with 2-year contract, obviously) when it launches on T-Mobile, though there's no word yet on what it'll run sans subsidization. So, how do you like dem Apples?[Via Fortune]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
