Most carriers have hesitated to open up their storefronts to free apps because it&#8217;s hard to make money from them. In the case of Sony Ericsson, GetJar must share any revenue it receives from downloads that are generated on a Sony Ericsson handset. If Sprint has a similar arrangement, the deal is a no-brainier&#8230;it doesn&#8217;t spend many resources on managing the applications, but still receives a cut. <\/p>\n<p>Sprint said the apps will be available on feature phones, including the LG (SEO: 066570) Lotus Elite, the Samsung Reclaim and the Sanyo 2700, and smartphones running BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. For those phones, a link is already accessible to GetJar on Sprint&#8217;s portal. &#8220;Our partnership with GetJar means that all Sprint customers will now have access to thousands of applications ranging from popular apps such as YouTube and Google (<a href=\"http:\/\/finance.paidcontent.org\/paidcontent?Page=QUOTE&#038;Ticker=GOOG\" class=\"ticker\" title=\"GOOG\">NSDQ: GOOG<\/a>) Maps to more niche applications that address their business needs,&#8221; said Len Barlik, Sprint&#8217;s VP of wireless and wireline services. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"related\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/moconews.net\/article\/419-sony-ericsson-adds-apps-to-playnow-partners-with-getjar-to-beef-up-cata\/\" title=\"Sony Ericsson Adds Apps To PlayNow; Partners With GetJar To Beef Up Catalog By About 45,000 \">Sony Ericsson Adds Apps To PlayNow; Partners With GetJar To Beef Up Catalog By About 45,000 <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/moconews.net\/article\/419-getjar-to-provide-virgin-mobile-frances-upcoming-app-store-with-free-ap\/\" title=\"GetJar To Provide Virgin Mobile France's Upcoming App Store With Free Applications \">GetJar To Provide Virgin Mobile France&#8217;s Upcoming App Store With Free Applications <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"GetJar%20Rides%20App%20Store%20Trend:%20Carphone%20Warehouse%20Uses%20Its%20New%20White%20Label%20Services\" title=\"GetJar Rides App Store Trend: Carphone Warehouse Uses Its New White Label Services \">GetJar Rides App Store Trend: Carphone Warehouse Uses Its New White Label Services <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/cDXvFhvip8psSQ6spUkIGk3R8vE\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/cDXvFhvip8psSQ6spUkIGk3R8vE\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/cDXvFhvip8psSQ6spUkIGk3R8vE\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/cDXvFhvip8psSQ6spUkIGk3R8vE\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.moconews.net\/~ff\/moconews?a=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/moconews?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.moconews.net\/~ff\/moconews?a=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/moconews?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.moconews.net\/~ff\/moconews?a=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/moconews?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.moconews.net\/~ff\/moconews?a=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/moconews?i=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.moconews.net\/~ff\/moconews?a=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/moconews?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.moconews.net\/~ff\/moconews?a=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/moconews?i=6LZMu1lXnlw:9roWL7X5eu8:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/moconews\/~4\/6LZMu1lXnlw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sprint (NYSE: S) is partnering with GetJar, an independent Lithuania-based application store, to offer thousands of free applications on a variety of its handsets.
