Windows Marketplace to ship with 600 Apps!

Back in April we reported that more than 25 mobile developers had signed on to deliver apps on Windows Mobile Marketplace. Now we’re receiving word (via an interview with Audrey Zolghadr, Windows Mobile Product Manager at Microsoft France) that 600 applications will be certified and available for download at launch. According to Audrey, there are currently 20,000 Windows Mobile applications available today.

Re: Windows Marketplace to ship with 600 Apps!

I wonder what they are requiring to "certify" an application.

I would love to see this spank Apple, not because I am anti Apple simply because I love my Windows based phones!

Re: Windows Marketplace to ship with 600 Apps!

why would you want to go there when you have zillions of free apps here and on xda? love the free apps for my phone. a friend of mine has a blackberry and i talk to him about like 10 different apps i use on my phone FOR FREE and he is like i have 2 or 3 because i cant find many free ones.

Re: Windows Marketplace to ship with 600 Apps!

i hope that finally the apps for WM can compete with Apple's. And I'm not talking about functionality, although kicking around these forums many people want apps "like ones they've seen for the iPhone", but also aesthetics. Everyone here I can bet, all think WM phones are superior, but the apps are ugly and not as much fun as the iPhone apps they are supposed to compete against.

Re: Windows Marketplace to ship with 600 Apps!

I saw one post on a site that said only 600. Weird how some want to type it differently to try and degrade it. I was happy about 600.

haha, 600 is alot, and I'm sure it will grow really fast.
From what I've read the pre's appstore had like 10 and blackberry's one appstore sucked. haha.

Also, since microsoft is in on it now,
I'm sure there will be more and more apps that companies make for WM instead of the Iphone.
Just you wait and see, I predict it!
