George ................................ Co-founder of SlideME http://twitter.com/slideme > > Just to let you know, this week will be my last week at SlideME. It's been > a wild ride over the last two years and much of what I set out to do I was > fortunate enough to be able to do with SlideME. It is now the largest > alternative Android marketplace and has a healthy user and developer > community around it. SAM, our client, has been deployed on a large number of > handsets around the world. > > I tried to start something similar with J2ME back in 2003-2004 with > JVending; but it was too early and the market was carrier controlled. All of > that has changed with the iPhone and Android, leaving an opening for > communities like SlideME and AndAppStore to sprout up and grow. > > SlideME has a great, hard-working team behind it and I have confidence that > it will continue to grow and maintain itself with a community focus. It's a > little bumpy as new members of the team get up to speed, so bear with them. > > As for myself, I've formed a fantastic team here in the Seattle area and > partnered with industry experts to build MiKandi - the largest Mobile Adult > App Store: http://mikandi.com. It was an area that other members of > SlideME understandably didn't want to enter, but I found building an app > store as highly disruptive to the adult industry; so I couldn't resist. I > have an itch to do things that haven't been done before. > > MiKandi is currently on the Android platform and all I can say is the > amount of interest from companies and individuals has been amazing. We just > launched today, so check it out. For developers who are frustrated with lack > of sales, you definitely want to check out this industry. In truth, there is > no industry, just a lot of users who are dying to buy mobile Adult apps.. > It's up to you to jump in and build it and make serious money from it. If > interested, I'll send you an invite code.

The company is called StackWire and will provide searchable > catalog as a service. Basically indexing of data in the cloud. It will allow > mobile, media application developers to build out their catalogs, optimized > for mobile devices. We are seeing this as an area that is not currently > being met. if you are interested in doing a beta with us, just ping me. > > -- > Shane Isbell (Co-founder of MiKandi - The World's First Mobile Adult > AppStore) > http://mikandi.com > http://twitter.com/sisbell > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Android Discuss" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<android-discuss%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
