Vodafone 360 Apps are based on the JIL-standard (Joint Innovation Lab) –more information to come shortly in Jon presentation Vodafone 360 launched with over more than 1,000 Apps in October, rapidly grown to now over 7000…and counting Runtime is embedded on LiMo & S60 devices with BlackBerry and other OS to follow. Total number of devices in first half of this year is 50 = 20 embedded (this makes up the 2m) + 30 others that support download Our Apps can be developed to be viewed in an expandable view that remains open and dynamically updates on your desktop. A great example of this is Accuweather. All Apps work in the traditional full view. All of this highlights the opportunities to developers such as you here today. The reach is increasing and getting involved in a platform earlier on gives you a high probability to deliver apps to customers and also to help drive the development of the developer program.
