UK Three + GetJar to Launch App Store

UK Three + GetJar to Launch App Store. UK mobile carrier 3 has teamed with GetJar, the world's most respected mobile applications portal, to offer its subscribers a huge library of free applications. Using GetJar, 3's customers can download the most popular free mobile applications, including Google Maps for Mobile, Yahoo!Go, eBuddy, mig33, MyWaves, and Nimbuzz, and take them wherever they go.

Three is the first UK mobile operator, and one of the first operators in the world, to offer such a diverse range of freeware, demo, and ad-supported applications to consumers. Its partnership with GetJar gives 3 access to the world's largest and most successful mobile applications portfolio -- GetJar recently surpassed 300 million downloads worldwide.

GetJar provides an open and free environment for application developers and consumers, with over 10,000 free applications available for anyone with a Java, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm, BlackBerry, or Flash Lite-compatible phone, and will soon launch a catalog of Android applications in 2008.
