FAQ Terms of Use Sample Catalog

Synclast is preparing to launch a J2ME game and application catalog for the general public, initially focusing on the U.S. market. If you have developed or are developing MIDP software, we'd like to work with you to make it available through our service.

Billing Models
Synclast will support credit card billing of all major card types, and J2ME apps with single-purchase, subscription and pay-per-use models.

Supported Distribution Channels
Synclast applications will initially be available to AT&T Wireless, Cingular, Sprint and T-Mobile subscribers with Java-enabled handsets. For a full list of handsets we will support over-the-air delivery for at launch, see the preferences page of the sample catalog.

Certification
We require that applications be certified for each target handset before they can be listed in our public catalog. The certification can be done by us for a reasonable fee (in most cases, $50), or we will accept the certification conferred by any major certification body, such as a handset manufacturer or a wireless carrier. For a limited time, Synclast will waive the certification fee for up to five devices per submitted application -- a $250 value!

Get Paid
Our goal is to bring producers and consumers of wireless entertainment and applications together and build a compelling service for everyone. To this end, we want you to make money selling your software through our service. You'll receive payments no less than monthly for each end-user download of your MIDP apps.

We'll work with you to set fair pricing for your apps that can be adjusted any time. Our industry-standard terms give you 70% of each net sale (the net price is the price after the payment processing fees). We anticipate payment processing fees at a fixed $0.30, plus 3% of the transaction. The following table outlines how much you would get at each of the price points below (the price points are examples only; you can choose any retail price at or above $0.99).
