Top seven most popular phone Apps storesBy LuckyMich

Next time I think about purchasing a phone, the very first information I am going to research is the application store and the amount of applications it offers. These days, it is imperative that a company offers an application store. Currently, Apple, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Palm, Samsung, and LG all have their own application stores. Some Apps stores have countless of applications and others barely have any. Here is a quick list on some of the Apps stores and their benefits.

Palm has their Mobile application store included on their webOS phone starting with the Palm Pre.

Applications designed for the Palm® webOS™ platform let you do more—they can work with Calendar, Contacts, and other apps on the Palm Pre™ phone, taking advantage of the unique capabilities of webOS. To get applications, browse the catalog on your phone and download them over the air to your Pre. {http://www.palm.com/us/products/software/mobile-applications.html}

Palm announced that it will start accepting applications for their Apps store. The developers will be paid 70 percent for their application and any money they earn through the sale. This announcement is for their beta e-commerce program. The applications need to be useful, engaging and need to have an appealing design for starters.
