The Orange App Shop and its on device client (one click access to the shop on every new Orange devices) allows different things:
1. It is multi-devices (SE / Samsung / BB / HTC / Nokia / Motorola)
2. It is multi-platform (Java / Symbian / WM / Rim / Android)
3. It is an opportunity to reach a arge amount of consumers.
Personnaly I think that this kind of initiative might be more successful coming from a carrier rather than a device manufacturer (Nokia Ovi Store for instance).
But again, I'm not objective since I'm managing the developer community platform for Orange as a consultant. I realize that there is still a lot of thins to do in order to recruit grat developers and great apps to the shop, but at least it seems to me it is a good start.
That's also the reason why I wanted to have your point of view.

Well Orange has always sold apps via OrangeWorld in the UK at least. So I wonder if this is just a fleshed out version, making it more accessible, the old one was pretty terrible.
mobile apps - what's it all about?
It seems to be available on orange world right now, although I cant see it myself.
I'm not sure how popular its going to be to be honest, at least not with Android/iPhone users, as their own markets are much better/convenient. Maybe will be good for non-smarthphones though.

Hi X-Ter
For the moment only a few devices are concerned : Sony Ericsson W995, Yari, C905, C510, W595, W910i and Nokia 6303 and 6700. It represents about 1 million french and English users.
More to come in early january.
Lekky,
it is not onlythe launch of an on-device client, meaning that the App Shop will be accessible on every Orange handsets in one click (icon on the Homescreen). It is also a large improvement of the App Shop itself, in terms of navigation and content (apps).
