The US network continues to be a big problem for them. However, from what I hear in the last hours the app store is an international move. T-Mobile owns/has access to much better networks in Europe (which are usually superior to those in the USA in the moment, the way some Japanese/Korea networks are better than the European ones). <br><br>Also, related to that, the Android SDK is way superior to the Iphone SDK, in my private opinion. I expect the Android apps to be more spectecular than the Iphone ones in the public opinion when they come out. Hi Erik,

It will definitely take time to catch up with the big boys, but I think T-Mobile is onto something here... This is great news…as a T-Mobile customer, I'm definitely excited!
