TMobile


Users of premium mobile apps normally do not have an idea on what they purchased until after they start using them. The same case also applies to mobile game apps, including Android apps, where users would only be able to know that they like the game apps that they purchased only after they start to play with them.
In order to provide users the flexibility of evaluating the Android apps that they aim to use, TMobile has recently announced that it is collaborating with Wild Tangent to provide users a one-day access to Android apps for around $0.25.
The rental fee of $0.25 for the Android app will be credited to payment of the users when they opt to purchase the game if they like it. If they dislike it, paying the $0.25 rental fee will be a small price to pay compared to the full purchase price of some Android apps. The rental fee for the Android apps may be higher than $0.25 depending on the actual purchase price of the app.
Both Wild Tangent and TMobile are aiming to make the rental service,, which will be pre-installed on tablets and smartphones, available by fall. The charges for the use of the Android apps will be included on the monthly bill of the TMobile client since TMobile will collect the payments for the service.
The latest Android apps service that TMobile will be offering in the market is typical of the company since TMobile is the exclusive outlet for the N-gage gaming phone of Nokia in the US. TMobile is also noted for venturing into the use of new platforms and technologies. One such example is the UMA or the mobile phones that utilize Wi-Fi connectivity for calling as well as the Bobsled VoIP service.
Although the Android apps that will be offered in the service of TMobile are limited to games, some analysts have indicated that it may be more beneficial if TMobile will increase the Android apps offering to include non-game applications.
