HTC Going To Open Its Own Online App Store?

HTC App StoreHTC, the popular Taiwan-based manufacturer of smartphones, is currently hiring staff for launching their ‘possible’ online App Store that would sell e-books and applications.

Still it is not conform whether they will open an unified app store, which will serve both Android-based devices and Windows Phone 7 handsets, the two operating systems that HTC currently uses to power their popular smartphones.

Some close sources revealed that HTC was hiring content editors for a planned online HTC store, which will act as a Marketplace, for its smartphones applications as well as for e-books and magazines.

  2. Hmm.. I’m not all that sure about an HTC app store. What’s the advantage? Android and Apple have app marketplaces that work just fine, unless they are planning on mooching some of the profit by referring users to buy apps..

  4. This is very bad. Android is designed with openness in mind. This will only make the platform closed and segregated.
