OpenPeak Unveils OpenShop(TM) for Android Apps
New Service Supports Extended Functionality for Tablets
Enables Enterprises and Service Providers with a Managed Ecosystem for Apps
BOCA RATON, Fla. and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CES -- OpenPeak Inc., a leading provider of multimedia touch-screen device and device management services, today unveiled OpenShop, a new application delivery platform that brings together developers, OEMs, enterprises and service providers in an expanded and customizable marketplace for Android apps. Set to launch in early 2011, OpenShop provides a versatile platform that not only supports apps made for tablet devices and handsets, but also allows applications and devices to take advantage of extended capabilities, such as multiple cameras, multiple displays, or higher resolutions.
The company announced the launch at the 2011 International CES event at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where they are offering OpenShop demonstrations in a private suite by appointment.
Service providers and Enterprises will find OpenShop particularly appealing for it's ability to become a custom-branded application store offering for their customers. In addition to delivering apps that are optimized to specific devices, OpenShop can be coupled with OpenPeak's Device Management System, to enable service providers and enterprises a full device management solution, including the ability to deploy updates or revoke problem applications. Multiple billing and licensing options are also supported, including subscription services and integration with service provider's billing systems.
The OpenShop service is designed to provide a marketplace for Android application developers who want to make use of custom APIs to support extended features of certain devices and for device manufacturers that may choose to limit or to expand the feature set offered on their devices without sacrificing access to the ever-expanding world of Android applications.
OpenShop also makes it easy for developers to submit apps that have already been posted to other online shops. Developers can post their existing Android apps in as little as 10 minutes and immediately expand their market reach.
"OpenShop eliminates barriers for device manufactures and app developers, providing greater market accessibility in an environment optimized for tablet devices," said Dan Gittleman, CEO of OpenPeak. "For service providers, as well as small and large enterprises, OpenShop combined with OpenPeak's DMS offers a customizable delivery platform to manage device deployment, updates and application availability.
For example, enterprises may provide a custom-branded OpenShop app store for employees that provides access to business productivity apps on corporate devices, while restricting access to non-business-related apps. Developers can also target specific devices with apps designed to take advantage of features such as multi-screen video or enterprise telephony.
"Android devices are the fastest selling on the market today, and developers are keen to push their apps to this rapidly growing audience," Gittleman said. "With OpenShop, we are creating the capability and versatility to deliver apps to end-users that perform well on virtually any device they choose."
