SONY ERICSSON ENTERS APP STORE MARKET

Sony Ericsson (www.sonyericsson.com), which reports that it began delivering online content in 2003, announced that it will consolidate its Fun & Downloads service into its PlayNow "arena," through which it will begin making applications available. Applications will initially be available in 13 countries that support PlayNow and to the 38 Sony Ericsson phones that are compatible with the PlayNow platform. The app store is being powered by Lithuanian developer GetJar (www.getjar.com). Users with accounts can download content to their phone and computer. Those without accounts may purchase content via premium SMS.
