PocketGear.com Developer Signup / Information

What is the PocketGear.com Partner Program?


PocketGear.com is committed to the Windows Mobile Pocket PC platform's development and success. We are the first and only site to cater specifically to the Pocket PC community, creating a central resource for Pocket PC buyers, by partnering with software and hardware developers alike.

We provide Pocket PC developers with a direct distribution channel to sell their handheld software applications to millions of Pocket PC users over the Internet.  Becoming a PocketGear.com partner is not like selling your software on any other PDA related website.  Unlike other sites we don't confuse users by offering them Palm or Symbian software.  PocketGear.com is strictly Pocket PC specific.

  • Our business model is to sell software to the general public on behalf of numerous software developers, not as an internet payment service provider, but rather as a retail store through which individual customers worldwide can choose from a wide variety of software products by different developers (ISVs).

  • We accept Visa, American Express, MasterCard, Discover sales automatically, in real time.

  • We accept domestic and International orders and payment by means of telephone, and FAX.

  • We offer various ESD licensing models including pool of keys, generated key and full version download.

  • Checks are cut and sent to you on a monthly basis (on approx. the 25th of each month for the proceeding month's activity), along with sales reports in printed and/or electronic form.

  • We offer live customer support and handling of all order questions.

  • We work to promote your Pocket PC software to the fullest, through our affiliate websites (at no extra cost to you), banner advertising campaigns, links across the Internet, and print ads for our site in all popular handheld computing publications.

  • Get your software listed in the largest, fastest growing, most comprehensive Pocket PC resource on the Internet!

How does the Partner Program Work?


The program provides registered developers with the ability to simply log on, submit their software and start selling.  PocketGear.com retains 40% of the cost + transaction fees in return for the processing of credit card, online, fax, and phone orders, allowing Partners to concentrate on what they do best -- creating great applications for the Pocket PC.  Checks are sent out promptly on a month to month basis.

 

Do I have to Pay?


No!  There is no cost to being a PocketGear.com Partner.  We will post your software and begin promoting your software for free.  We only make money if you do.  You have nothing to lose, except the exposure and revenues you could generate by becoming a PocketGear.com Partner.
