as far as i know... smart is building their own ecosystem... the battle of mobile supremacy is in the ecosystem space and i think smart is heading towards on that... but it is much better to let any smart representatives here in plug (i know who you are hehehe) to say something about their planned ecosystem....
on the other hand.. android marketplace is fragmented and WAC (Wholesale Application Community) is an answer to that fragmentation...netphone is the first android smartphone to support WAC platform which promises developers to write applications once to any carrier, device or operating system... but some analysts say that this will fail as what happened to java and symbian before... but we will see what it goes.. furthermore... near field communication (NFC) is starting to adopt by the industry for mobile payment... fooler.
