Mobile Minute: Samsung launching yet another mobile app store
The store will launch for customers in the UK, France, and Italy on September 14th, and it wil open up to additional countries later. At launch, the store will support the Samsung Omni and Samsung I8910 HD phones. There are plans to support additional smartphones later.
The thing is, the Samsung Omnia runs Windows Mobile, which means that the Samsung app store, which will let users download, purchase, and install mobile applications directly from their phones, may eventually wind up competing with the Windows Marketplace for Mobile application from Microsoft. But since Windows marketplace isn't available to the public yet, it looks like Samsung will beat Microsoft to market.
On the other hand, Samsung says a whopping 300 apps will be available at launch. There are already tens of thousands of applications available for Windows Mobile phones that can be downloaded from various sources on the internet. I'd be surprised if Microsoft didn't manage to launch its mobile app store with at least a few more than 300 applications.

On other Samsung-related issues. The Epix is no more. My AT&T contract was eligible for a new phone on decemeber, which for a few months was the epix in my view, and then after constant checking-up on, they posted the epix as "Temporarilly Out of Stock" a few days ago and now tonight, on Sept. 3, its officially unavailable, no trace of it, nothing. Strange thing is, on the Samsung site, it still appears...
Any news or updates on that phone?
That is the phone i want, it's one of the more unique devices out there, and while its still a year old, i dont get how it can be discontinnued when devices like the blackjack2 and a couple other, lesser known phones are still around.?
IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME?
