  Now that Apple's Apps Store has proven a hit with both iPhone users and - more importantly - apps developers, other players are scrambling to build their own. The forces behind Android have created the Android Market, and RIM now has a BlackBerry Store. Microsoft is rumored to be doing likewise with something called "Skymarket" that could see the light of day in 2009.
  
  Meanwhile, some operators are making their own moves. T-Mobile in the US and O2 in the UK have already announced plans to create and launch apps stores. In essence, it's all about establishing a firm, and branded, foothold in the mobile apps value chain. Both T-Mobile and O2 have said they want a platform to allow developers to create trial and monitor apps for handsets they carry, and give them a place to sell them. Interestingly, O2 is an iPhone retailer as well, while T-Mobile of course has the Android G1 handset - but both want more of their handsets to benefit from an apps-store concept.
