GetJar announced that it will make its entire library of 60,000+ free mobile applications available to Rogers customers at no charge. Customers gain immediate access to GetJar’s massive library of applications via a GetJar link on the Rogers Application page accessible from the mobile Internet on their wireless device.

Rogers customers will have access to thousands of applications ranging from games, social networking, sports, entertainment and productivity applications. Popular apps such as Facebook Mobile, Weather Channel Mobile, Fandango, and Snap2Twitter can be easily downloaded to a wide variety of wireless devices.

“We are very excited that Rogers is working and cooperating with GetJar to meet the demands of its customers,” said Ilja Laurs, founder and CEO of GetJar. “This agreement, much like our recent announcement with Sprint Nextel, allows Rogers to immediately connect all its customers with over 60,000 free applications with very little effort.”

Rogers joins other leading companies already using GetJar’s flexible, open app store approach including Sprint, Sony Ericsson, 3UK, The Carphone Warehouse and Virgin Mobile France. GetJar offers branded solutions, such as is the case with Rogers, and also white label solutions using its app catalog express (ACE) service. GetJar supports over 2,000 handsets across all major platforms, including smartphones and non-smartphones.
