Samsung Application Store Announced

"Oh, look, it's another place to buy bite-sized mobile apps, this one courtesy of Samsung. The company isn't exactly new to the whole application store thing, launching a little outlet for Nokia users earlier this year, but piggy-backing on someone else's platform and boldly blazing a trail of iFart knockoffs on your own hardware are two very different things"

So it looks like Samsung is jumping on the Application Store bandwagon, which is great because Windows Mobile doesn't have enough of them </sarcasm>. Who knows, perhaps Samsung will stock theirs with unique products that exploit the custom SDKs on their devices. Or more likely they'll put the same apps that will be in the upcoming Windows Mobile Marketplace, Handango's market, etc..

HTC Waving the Dollar Bills... But Not for Long?

"HTC Corporation has reported September revenues of NT$13.7 billion, up 30% from the same period last year. For the third quarter of 2008, the company's total revenues reached NT$37.86 billion, representing 30.06% year-on-year growth... HTC's third quarter revenue were in line with guidance provided during last quarter's conference call. Nevertheless, September revenues were slightly affected by the delay of shipment due to a series of typhoons. The company remains optimitics [sic] it will achieve annual revenue growth of 20-30%, and close to the upper end of the target."



It's interesting seeing growth figures such as these, and realizing that the future may not be so rosy, given current economic conditions. The question to you, dear readers. With all that is going on in the global markets, do you plan to cut spending on new toys in the months (and possibly years) ahead? HTC and many other companies may soon have to face the stark reality that the solid growth experienced over the past few years could be reversed.
