Claro Brazil aims to launch in the second half its own mobile application shop in the second half. This is a new project and separate from the previously announced plan to create a widget store using the Plaza platform from Qualcomm.

America Movil, the parent company, is currently negotiating for a solution provider. According to the director of value added services (VAS) at Claro, Fiamma Zariffe, the store will be agnostic in terms of operating systems, offering diverse applications for mobile platforms.
