An application store provides an incentive based recommendation method for recommending a mobile station content item. A user of a first mobile station recommends the mobile station content item to a second user. The application store distributes the recommendation through a mobile communication network to a mobile station of the second user. The application store stores information associated with the recommendation and detects access of the mobile station content item by the second user. In response to the detected access, the application store provides a reward to the first user based on the stored information.

Incentive based recommendation method for mobile station content

A mobile communication device has a number of selectable states, an antenna, and a communication circuit for transmitting and receiving communication signals. The mobile device also includes an impedance matching circuit having impedance matching networks. Each impedance matching network is associated with at least one of the selectable states of the mobile communication device and is configured to optimize the impedance match between the communication circuit and the antenna based on the selectable state of the mobile communication device with which the impedance matching network is associated. A switching network is included for coupling the antenna to the communication circuit together using one of the impedance matching networks based on a selected state of the mobile communication device.
