How to Register to S Apps Planet

Berita, , , , , ,

In the previous article I was talking about S Apps Planet released by S Nexian. This mobile application store will present as a pre-loaded for new S Nexian Android smartphone. With the ads that have been circulating everywhere, in a large billboard and in a media, everyone in this industry must assume that S Nexian is working seriously on this app store business.

However, if we try to navigate various menus on the S Nexian official site, there is no information at all about how the developer could register their Android application into S Apps Planet. I tried contacting S Nexian and got a reply saying Iguana Technology is in charge for the application registration process. Finally, Iguana Technology Representative, Linda Regina provides information on how the developer can register the application.

S-Nexian and Local Mobile Application Stores

Opinion, ,

S-Nexian is preparing to launch a mobile app store, Apps Planet, that will be pre-loaded in the ranks of their Android smartphone soon.

S-Nexian could be considered a local mobile phone vendor with the largest market share, has teamed up with five GSM operators for using operator billing payment system. Details about the Apps Planet still can’t be informed here; however we will inform the details once the information is clear. In my opinion, what is becoming a wedge for me is local application store.

Previously, the three major operators,Telkomsel, Indosat, and XL have set up their own local mobile application stores. Some of them even (with the euphoria) invited special developer to present a business scheme that will be run. As for XL at the initial launch of their BlackBerry service, they have been partnering with Better-B and providing pre-loaded XL Mall. The result now is? None of the local application stores survived.

Why there is barely no local application store survive? Although I wasn’t involved directly in that three stores applications, it seems clear that there is no clear commitment between both parties; operator as an owner and developer as a store filler. With a limited number of applications and smartphone market as well, of course, this segment isn’t feasible to proceed for long term – especially in terms of financial and monetization.

Inilah Cara Mendaftar Aplikasi Mobile ke S Apps Planet

Berita, , , , , ,

Beberapa hari yang lalu saya sempat membahas tentang S Apps Planet yang dirilis oleh S Nexian. Toko aplikasi mobile ini bakal hadir secara pre-loaded untuk setiap smartphone Android baru S Nexian. Dengan iklan yang sudah beredar di mana-mana, baik di baliho besar pinggir jalan maupun di media cetak, setiap orang di industri ini pasti menganggap S Nexian sangat serius menggarap bisnis toko aplikasi ini.

Meskipun demikian, jika kita mencoba menavigasi ke berbagai menu di situs resmi S Nexian, tidak ada informasi sama sekali tentang bagaimana cara pengembang mendaftarkan aplikasi Android-nya ke S Apps Planet. Saya mencoba mengontak pihak S Nexian dan mendapat jawaban bahwa pihak Iguana Technology lah yang in charge untuk pendaftaran aplikasi. Akhirnya representatif dari Iguana Technology, Linda Regina, memberikan informasi bagaimana caranya agar pengembang bisa mendaftarkan aplikasinya.

S-Nexian dan Toko Aplikasi Mobile Lokal

Opini, ,

S-Nexian dikabarkan segera meluncurkan toko aplikasi mobile Apps Planet yang bakal pre-loaded di dalam jajaran smartphone Android-nya. S-Nexian yang bisa dibilang merupakan vendor ponsel lokal dengan pangsa pasar terbesar telah bekerja sama dengan lima operator GSM untuk sistem pembayaran menggunakan operator billing (atau di sini lebih dikenal sebagai potong pulsa). Rincian tentang Apps Planet masih belum kami dapat di sini — akan kami informasikan kemudian detailnya jika sudah ada informasi jelas. Yang mungkin masih menjadi ganjalan bagi saya adalah adanya toko aplikasi lokal.

Dulu, tiga operator besar yaitu Telkomsel, Indosat, dan XL sudah pernah mendirikan toko aplikasi mobile lokalnya sendiri. Beberapa malah dengan gempita mengundang pengembang khusus untuk mempresentasikan skema bisnis yang bakal dijalankannya. XL malah dari awal peluncuran layanan BlackBerry-nya sudah menggandeng Better-B dan memberikan aplikasi XL Mall secara pre-loaded. Hasilnya sekarang? Tidak ada satupun toko aplikasi lokal yang bertahan.
