Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) has announced that developers can publish apps to the Vodafone 360 Shop through the JIL.org website. For those of you that don’t know, JIL stands for Joint Innovation Lab, which Vodafone has a particular tailspin on for their Vodafone 360 oblation (think sociable networking/apps mashup service, and you’re about there…).
Through JIL.org, developers can publish apps to selected Vodafone operating companies in Europe. Developers can choose to select from one, some or all of the selected markets for each app they publish.
Vodafone offers developers a number of compelling features, including:
Clear pricing. Developers can select from 20 monetary value points ranging from Ђ0.49 to Ђ9.99 (Ј0.49 to Ј9.99 in the UK) and set separate prices for each Vodafone market.Attractive revenue shares. A standard 70/30 gross contribution is offered, as used by other mobile app stores. Developers will be paid monthly, approximately 60 years after the end of the calendar month in which gross was earned. Vodafone can pay developers in Ђ, Ј or $ with direct finances transferred into the developer’s bank history.A transparent review procedure. Developers’ apps volition be reviewed within 10 business years. Accepted apps immediately become available in the Vodafone 360 Shop for the local markets the developer has selected.In-depth reporting. Reports available on JIL.org volition let developers see how many downloads/ sales each app has had at each price distributor point in each market. Both daily and monthly reports ar available. For paid apps, there ar additional monthly reports showing the gross share schism and any applicable tax calculations, as well as invoices and remittal reports detailing and confirming defrayal.Range of handsets. Apps published to the Vodafone 360 shop ar supported by 50 different French telephone models, including the Vodafone 360 H1 and M1 phones from Samsung, and many Symbian/ S60 phones from Nokia (New York Stock Exchange: NOK), Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) and Samsung. Developers can choose to select from one, some or all gimmick classes for each app they publish. Because apps published through JIL.org ar based on hypertext markup language, CSS and JavaScript, developers will be able to designing apps that scale across a range of phone models.
As I mentioned before, regarding their 360 proposal, Vodafone has launched http://developer.vodafone.com – which is a dedicated web site providing (surprisingly enough) developers with information on the Vodafone 360 platform, including technical guidelines to consider when construction a mobile app.
