Deutsche Telekom, the German communications leader, has launched its Softwareload download service in the UK. The service is extremely popular in Germany where Softwareload.de has more than a million users.
Softwareload.co.uk aims to become the place for Web users to purchase software from various application providers. Softwareload.co.uk contains software applications for work and home life, and customers can store their purchases securely on the site.
Products available at launch span categories such as anti-virus and security, data protection, photos and graphics, plus personal interest, leisure, Internet and browser software. Visitors can find products such as G Data security products, MAGIX photo and video applications, Nuance PDF apps and Nero burning software, alongside dozens of other applications. Customers can store their purchases for up to one year in the ‘My downloads’ section. This service is free for customers signing up before the end of 2009 and £4.99 thereafter for 12 months’ secure product storage. Softwareload.co.uk users can also benefit from customer support by both phone and email.
I like the idea - but why only a year? Surely I'm likely to need to reinstall after a year, not before it?
Since its launch Softwareload has issued a 50% sale on all software download products for the next week (until noon 11 November)
