Application catalog on an application server for wireless devices
First Claim
1. A system for providing an application catalog for served applications on a wireless network, comprising:
- one or more wireless devices in selective communication with the wireless network, each wireless device having an end-user thereof; and
one or more application download servers in selective communication to the wireless network, and each application download server selectively in communication with the one or more wireless devices and selectively downloading applications thereto, each server including an application catalog displayable to the one or more wireless device across the wireless network, the application catalog listing at least a plurality of applications downloadable to wireless devices, the server, further optimizing the application catalog based upon predetermined criteria such that the preferred application to be downloaded by a wireless device is initially displayed to a wireless device attempting to access the application catalog.
