GetJar Ejects Opera Mini From Its App Store
- MatthewPhillips 16y agoHow are these apps stores able to differentiate themselves from their (much larger) platform owners? Here's one thing they aren't doing but I think would work: Buy a (cross-platform) app on one device and get it for all of your devices. Ex. Evernote is available on several platforms. The ability to buy once would be a killer feature for GetJar.
- profitbaron 16y agoIn their own words, GetJar differentiate themselves by "its open market approach , which allows GetJar to deliver applications for both feature phones and smartphones across all major platforms such as Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, iPhone and Symbian among others" As well as this, they don't take a cut of the developers revenue - http://www.readwriteweb.com/mobile/2011/03/getjar-touts-no-fee-philosophy.php http://www.readwriteweb.com/mobile/2011/03/getjar-touts-no-f... - which is a great incentive for developers to promote their apps on GetJar. Although, I do agree with the one purchase should count across all platforms idea. I'd even go as far as to say, users would be prepared to pay a slight premium on the app price so it can be used across all platforms instead of paying for the service again.
