There is one more Russian mobile app store. MTS has started beta testing of AppBazar. Currently, there are 83 applications in the marketplace library, 55 of which are games.
In a comment to Kommersant, an MTS representative said that not only Russian, but also foreign developers can publish applications in AppBazar. Portuguese Infinity Games, British 8floor and a number of other foreign teams have already taken advantage of this opportunity.
MTS is negotiating with smartphone manufacturers to pre-install AppBazar. It is not specified with whom exactly the company communicates.
