AT&T published a press release giving information on how it’s planning to bring ‘apps to all’.
This is a run-through of AT&T’s plans, provided by the press room of AT&T.
- New devices that will give customers the most robust choices of major operating systems (OS), including Android™, in the U.S.
- A goal to offer all major smartphone OS app stores
- An agreement with Qualcomm to standardize apps development for mid-range Quick Messaging Devices using BREW Mobile Platform. These devices are used by millions of customers who historically have not had the same convenient access as smartphone customers to the market’s hottest apps
- A new AT&T SDK (software developer kit) to help developers immediately begin to develop apps for these devices
- A significantly enhanced developer program and new relationships with global carriers that are intended to make it easier for developers to distribute apps in markets outside the U.S.
- Future initiatives to enable developers to create more apps for AT&T’s U-verse TV, emerging consumer electronics devices, and businesses
- A new AT&T Virtual Innovation Lab and two new Innovation Centers, which will help developers and spur apps development
Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T’s wireless branch, said, “Applications help consumers realize the full value and benefits of mobile broadband networks, services and devices. Today some AT&T customers can take advantage of more than 100,000 apps – but only if they have the right handset. Our goal is to bring more apps to millions more of our customers who want convenient access to the market’s hottest apps. At the same time, in the future, we plan to go well beyond mobile devices to spur apps development.”
Here are some of the devices that AT&T plans to release in cooperation with HTC, Dell, and Motorola:
- A Motorola smartphone, powered by MOTOBLUR, with a unique form factor and an AT&T exclusive
- Dell’s first smartphone, based on the Android platform and an AT&T exclusive
- A HTC smartphone, based on the Android platform, and an AT&T exclusive
AT&T also said that they plan to offer app stores for all these phones, to meet the plans they have for 2010. Another new announcement is AT&T’s plans to work with Qualcomm to adopt BREW Home Platform, which will allow easy app creation. “Today, developers must essentially rebuild apps for different handsets and operating systems, increasing their costs, slowing the pace of innovation and stalling the delivery of mobile apps to customers,” David Christopher, AT&T’s chief marketing executive, said. “We want to tear down the barriers and make it much easier for developers to reach our customers – and for our customers to access apps. Moving to one platform for this fast growing segment of devices will help developers reach millions more customers who want easy access to the hottest mobile apps.”
Also revealed was the AT&T Sandbox, which allows for easy app testing by developers; AT&T Developer Dashboard, a dashboard for developers to track their apps; and the creation of the AT&T Developer Council, which is a group governed by AT&T and including such companies as EA Games and Telenav.

The director of the Anti-Piracy department at Microsoft, Alex Kochis, has stepped down from his position.
In a post on his blog, he wrote, “Today is my last day at Microsoft.” He also said that he wishes to continue to fight piracy, but didn’t give any information about his future plans.
And he couldn’t have picked a worse time to step down: Redmond is already suffering from the effects of software piracy, claiming $50 billion losses in 2008 alone.
Kochis’s anti-piracy work at Microsoft, however, will continue. He was behind the Windows Genuine Advantage software that drew serious criticism after it labeled a large amount of users pirates and locked them out of Windows. The incidents were widely publicised by the media, and this software was part of the problems that tarnished Vista’s reputation.
