Opera, together with TIM Brazil, presented a new mobile application store
According to information from the official Opera Software website, on November 26, Opera Software announced a partnership with TIM , one of the leading mobile operators in Brazil (market share 26.81%). According to the agreement on the basis of the Opera Mobile Store, a new Brazilian mobile app store was created - TIM App Shop . To launch a new store, in addition to its own platform, the Opera Mobile Store , whose office opened in Odessa in the summer of 2012, provided the TIM network with a collection of several thousand mobile applications specially selected for Brazilian users.
The TIM App Shop is already available on all mobile phones sold on the operator’s network and, according to preliminary estimates, is able to attract more than 70 million subscribers from Brazil. Due to the high cost of broadband connection, most TIM subscribers access the Internet mainly from their mobile phones, therefore, the TIM App Shop will become a popular service among the operator’s subscribers, whose target audience, according to Data Popular Institute estimates, consists mainly of middle class people. Users can purchase paid mobile applications without a credit card - directly through a mobile operator. Back in February, Opera Software launched its mobile payment system OPX (Opera Payment Exchange) for 160 million Opera Mini users.
Today, more than 55,000 applications are available in the TIM App Shop - both paid and free - for the J2ME, Android, Symbian and BlackBerry platforms. Most applications are offered in two languages: English and Portuguese. Social media, games, music, news resources and weather are available in the TIM App Shop, for both budget mobile phones and smartphones.
