T-Mobile takes a cue from the Apple iPhone app store.  This fall the carrier tears down the wall and opens the deck on all its phones with a platform virtually any developer can use.

Word comes from, T-Mobile’s director of Mobile Applications and Partner Programs Venetia Espinoza:

“T-Mobile is working with the industry to foster an open wireless services platform which will provide developers with the tools and information they need to make new, innovative experiences available to T-Mobile’s more than 31.5M customers. The devPartner Community site, which is in its alpha stage, is just a taste of what T-Mobile has in store and we encourage you to stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.”

The impact has the potential to be significant.  With T-Mobile’s 31.5 million U.S. subs the stage is set for an outburst of application development.

Developers will submit apps for review and when the green light goes on enter into a rev share with T-Mobile.
