SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - July 23, 2009) - MobiHand, Inc., a leading provider of mobile
content and application stores, today announced the introduction of its
BlackBerry "Deal-of-the-Day" program throughout its network of desktop app
stores. The Deal-of-the-Day offers a new top-selling app or theme at a
steep discount every day. In addition to the MobiHand's own and co-branded
On-Device BlackBerry App Stores, the Deal-of-the-Day can now be found at
MobiHand powered desktop app stores, including those associated with
popular BlackBerry community sites.
The first set of ten "Deal-of-the-Day" offers includes games/entertainment,
themes, apps for improving personal productivity and performance enhancers
for the BlackBerry.
"With the number of apps rapidly growing in the various BlackBerry
marketplaces, it's becoming important to offer new ways for developers to
market their product," said Steve Howard, president and CEO of MobiHand,
Inc. "Our Deal-of-the-Day program represents a real win-win because it lets
developers highlight their products while consumers receive a continual
stream of great deals."
Program Stirs Air of Excitement:
Developers have been quick to embrace the program. There are already 100
apps and themes queued up. Developers involved in the first set of ten
apps include: Bellshare GmbH, BerryBow, eMobiStudio, Hedone Designs,
Javatek Media, JC Designs - Gadgetbean, Magnum | Zimplifier, NikkiSoft,
Swoosh Software, LLP, and TetherBerry.
Co-branded stores participating include CrackBerry.com, BlackBerryCool,
BerryReview.com, BBGeeks.com, BlackBerryApps (BBForums) and
BlackBerryRocks. Among the international partners are BlackBerryitalia.it
and BlackBerryWorld.eu.
Win-Win for Customers too:
After the theme or app is purchased at the wallet-friendly, steep discount,
it is delivered over the air (OTA) and installed automatically. From the
On-Device App Store, checkout is optimized using a credit card with
one-click convenience. From the Desktop stores, purchases can be made
using a credit card or PayPal. And because MobiHand-powered stores
maintain a record of every item purchased, if the need arises, the theme or
app can be
re-downloaded at any time.
