PocketGear gets 15 million USD venture capital

PocketGear definitely isn’t too popular among developers – especially as the folks have shown a few very stupid stunts in the past.

Nevertheless, venture capitalists seem to be more convinced of their ideas. Mobile Business Briefing currently reports the following:

… mobile apps store PocketGear has secured US$15 million in ‘series B’ funding, with investors including Trident Capital, BlackBerry Partners Fund and TomorrowVentures, the personal fund of Google’s Eric Schmidt.

…

This should be especially interesting for all developers planning legal action over their recent bork-ups – if you plan to get cash, go for it now!
