T-Mobile (USA) has taken it upon itself to launch an open development platform to challenge the iPhone. It aims to take on that task through upcoming phone platforms such as Android, Java, Sidekick and Windows Mobile.
Starting end of this year, T-Mobile USA will make a gear shift by brushing off its traditional deck on the phone and replacing it with a platform that’s friendly to almost any developer.
Making it an obvious attempt to compete with iPhone App store – this also encourages other competitions to take up on Apple’s iPhone. With Symbian already gone open-source, there are much more possibilities to watch out for.
