Verizon Wireless announced it is now accepting binary submissions for its forthcoming V Cast Apps mobile software storefront. According to an email sent out last week to Verizon Developer Community members, programmers who've successfully submitted concepts to V Cast Apps can now upload binary files as well as provide additional information including Icons, Application Descriptors, Pricing, Export Compliance and Version Information. Upon accepting a binary submission, V Cast Apps will notify developers of certification results via email. Verizon Wireless adds it has updated its VDC forums with new links to app submission resources.
During the recent Consumer Electronics Show event in Las Vegas, Verizon Wireless said it is "on the cusp" of launching V Cast Apps, originally slated to go live in late 2009. Verizon Wireless director of business development Todd Murphy did not offer a specific launch date, but said the storefront would initially be available across five of the operator's BlackBerry smartphones: The Storm 1 and 2, the Curve 1 and 2, and the BlackBerry Tour. "We're just waiting for that inflection point" of enough quality applications, Murphy said, adding "We believe that when we put this out into the marketplace, it will have a significant impact." Murphy said Verizon Wireless currently counts about 3,500 developers registered in the VDC program.
