If the cards align as they’re supposed to, it looks like T-Mobile may be launching an application store of their own sometime soon. Reportedly set to service their entire line of handsets, from the lowliest of low to the, well, moderately adequate smartphones, T-Mobile’s application store would be accessible directly from your mobile device. Moconews is reporting that the company is set to implement a revenue sharing model similar to Apple’s current App Store agreement, hoping to entice 3rd party developers to jump on board. No word on exactly when this will launch, but it should be this Fall sometime, so stay tuned for more info as it surfaces.

    And forget an App Store of any kind, bring out some good 3G smartphones/PDAs as well as a fully functional 3G network first!

    If Palm is planning to serve applications with their whenever-it-gets-out Nova “platform”, they better hurry up - Apple, T-Mobile, Google, who else is beating them to it.
