Aircel app store goes live

Aircel said that its applications store went live starting yesterday night. A company spokesperson told Telecom Yatra that the app store was launched in Gujarat yesterday, and that it has now gone live nationwide.
Aircel had announced the roll out of its app store in January this year, along with Infosys Technologies. The store offers mobile applications related to health, lifestyle, entertainment, productivity (traffic, weather, etc.) and education, among other areas.
Subscribers can access these apps through voice, SMS, GPRS and internet (on a desktop). The store offers apps that are compatible with most handsets, irrespective of the model and manufacturer. Aircel is currently offering several free apps along with marginally priced and premium ones, and it also has several India focused apps in its store.
Infosys has provided the ecosystem and the platform for the store. The app store has been powered by Flypp, a ready to launch application platform by Infosys that enables operators to offer a range of apps across devices.
