M1 launches application store with content for multiple platforms

M1 AppStore enables developers to commercialise their applications and gain valuable market exposure.

M1 is launching an application store to bring the latest and most exciting applications to its customers under one roof.

When the M1 AppStore debuts on 12 May 2010, M1 customers will be able to access a wide selection of applications ranging from games, entertainment and sports to social networking, education and utilities. These applications will be available on various operating platforms including iPhone, Android, Symbian, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Java.

Customers will also be able to access applications that were previously restricted to specific mobile platforms on their devices, such as the highly rated iPhone game, Doodle Jump, which is now available on other platforms in the M1 AppStore, according to an M1 report.

The M1 AppStore has a mix of free and chargeable content. Customers' purchases of the latter will be billed to their monthly statements. Prepaid customers will have the charges deducted from their card balances.

Customers can access the M1 AppStore at https://appstore.m1.com.sg. Alternatively, they can also log on to the M1 AppStore from Miworld Mobile, M1's mobile portal, on their mobile phone.

Besides offering customers a convenient means to access applications, the M1 AppStore will also serve as a channel for M1 to reach out and actively engage the community of local content developers.

Under a new scheme, M1 will offer the M1 AppStore to developers as a platform to commercialise their applications and gain valuable market exposure. Key benefits of the scheme include cash incentives for selected developers who will have the opportunity to price their products as well as enjoy revenue share arrangements.

"Developers are important stakeholders and the M1 AppStore will create opportunities for win-win partnerships. We hope to attract more developers to join us in growing the M1 AppStore into a significant centre for content development," said Alex Tan, Deputy Director, Product Development, M1.

Developers who are interested in joining the scheme can register at https://appstore.m1.com.sg/developer.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
