• everything.me is a portal for mobilized sites, a long list of icons to games and other things
• also includes a search mechanism
• alternate discovery mechanism for mobilized web content
• desired by telefonica, we agreed to it a while ago

• has a number of problems, including need to be online all the time
• not a direct competitor to marketplace
• working with them on rev share and getting interesting content from them into marketplace

• not using mozApps API, use a custom API
• don't go through a real install process, but it looks to the user like an install
• unclear why, but that's the way it'll be for v1

• everything.me reps will be in MV office october 15 to discuss issues
• get issues to kward and rfant by then for discussion at that time!

• telefonica-specific? yes, right now it is
• but mozilla is contractually-obligated to offer it to other carriers

• what about apps that are available from both everything.me and also are pre-installed on device (like twitter)?
• multiple ways to get apps -- strength of the open web!
