Guest jazwin Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Samsung Appstore did anyone knew one was comming? it was supposed to launch the 14th but it was a few hours ago :) so you can download a cab to install the appstore app but unfortunately it doesn't work for me (yet) as soon as i launch it it gives an error, so i guess i have to wait till the 14th to use the store... i like it already because it has some free apps and you don't have to pay stupid amounts of monney to use a simple app :) so can you guys check of the app store works for you?
Guest Koofteh Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 This is going to be interesting, this whole app store on Windows Mobile, because there's going to be so many of them which I think might defeat the whole purpose of an app store. There's this one from Samsung, the Marketplace from Microsoft coming in October, and in the last few days I even ran across two random app stores for WM devices floating around the web. I hope this doesn't ruin the app store scene for Windows Mobile - to me the biggest point of an app store is that it's supposed to be a 'one stop shop' for programs for your platform, having a bunch for the same platform seems like a drawback to me. With that said, I'm gonna download this and give it a try. :)
Guest Koofteh Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Hmm, well that's just weak... anyone know if they even intend to open it up for North Americans?
Guest necosino Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Works via web browser though :)
Guest Koofteh Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Works via web browser though :) Really, it's web-based? What's the address? The application is over 2MB, kind of strange if all it does is fetch a website.
Guest Darthlord Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Think they just opened it for testing purposes, since its closed again now...
Guest Silic0nJ3sus Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 The page appears to be live again. The application is available for download again, although it still does not connect to the server.
Guest ionizer5 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 The page appears to be live again. The application is available for download again, although it still does not connect to the server. yeah doesnt connect ...tried on i910
Guest adzrm Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 works in italy on i900... great potential!!!!!
Guest lonely2k5 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 can't get it to work either... country not supported... we need to fake it somehow that we are from UK or Italy... but how? changing regional settings doesn't work any ideas?
Guest jazwin Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 damn you samsung it's still not working for holland either, why do they release it when it's not fully working?, apparently only Italy France and UK are supported right now, the rest of us will have to wait till samsung finishes the store...
Guest adzrm Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 not many apps still.... and also some very expensive.. but anyway the interface and download method is nice and easy.... it will automatically install netcf3.5! probably is needed to make games work... i don't know if also flash lite is updated
Guest La Traviata Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) How annoying, apparently it only works if you install it main device memory. 2MB gone! I hope that you can at least install the apps that you download from there in My Storage or Storage Card, otherwise they will be useless for me. Edit: found this in the FAQ: Q: After I reinstalled an application in a storage card previously installed on the main storage, I can not run or activate the application. Why? A: The licence key of Zirconia (which is license manager for Samsung Application Store) manages the installation path of the application. You can reactivate it by deleting license keys on the mobile phone. Please remove your license key from your phone. The license key of Zirconia is stored in "\Application Data\Zirconia". But if you remove the directory, you will need to reactivate all of your application which contains Zirconia. Edited September 14, 2009 by La Traviata
Guest limit77 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Anyone able to d/l all the free apps and make 'em accessible to everyone else?
Guest jonboyuk Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 It's full of rubbish that you can download from Handango. I've got it and there really is nothing of use just yet.
Guest Koofteh Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 It's full of rubbish that you can download from Handango. Seriously, you can see the list of the top apps on their site and they are all programs we've seen and heard about before. It's not like you can just start and app store and expect novel, interesting apps to pop-up like they did on Apple's. Oh, and I just read on WMExperts that LG is going to launch three different app stores of their own! Microsoft seems to have control over their OEMs, they should have told them that only Microsoft could make an app store for the WM platform.
