App Store Concept has been a big hit and one of the reason why people are so excited about their smart phones .Apps not only provide more utility for your phone but also keeps you engaged in your phones just as they are new ones.
This has been one of the Apple iPhone’s strengths and few days before Nokia launched OVI(Symbian) App store and now its LG. LG electronics which is world’s number 3 in handset making would be launching its App store which focusses on Asia-Pacific (countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Australia) and by the end of the year it would be avilable throughout the world. Though plans to enter America were not stated where Apple’s iPhone and Blackberry have a strong hold.
LG stated that it would provide 1400 (2000 by the end of the year) applications in which 100 would be free apps, and would be available in 15 languages .
Interestingly iPhone is costly in Asia and the Apps are not available in many asian countries app store.The other advantage which might help LG would be the language support and its huge customer support. This might be LG’s strategy to launch its App store in Asia which might just give LG the much needed boost in the industry.
