BARCELONA, Spain (AFP) — Software giant Microsoft and Finnish handset maker Nokia announced the launch of new virtual stores for mobile phone applications on Monday in a clear nod to the success of a similar idea by Apple.
US consumer goods group Apple launched its AppStore last July that enables users of its high-end iPhone to download applications for their devices, with games, travel info or news services on offer.
The California-based company, which allows other developers to provide applications for the phones, claimed it had its 500,000th download at the end of January.
