T-Mobile has already published some restrictions on their dev portal, no pornographic applications.
Another one that affects slideme: "Storefront: An application using a link to provide an opportunity to buy or to purchase content being published on T -Mobile's delivery platform (currently mPower) must point to a T-Mobileapproved storefront.":http://developer. t-mobile.com/site/global/device_search/p_device_testing.jsp. <http://developer.t-mobile.com/site/global/device_search/p_device_testing.jsp> So we couldn't provisioning the SAM client in the T-Mobile portal. It also means if you want to sell ring-tones, mp3's etc, you are out of luck, you can't get it into the T-Mobile portal. Pretty much the whole e-commerce for mobile content angle is locked out. And yes, I know that T-Mobile has a bunch of business reasons for doing so. I don't care to hear them.
