Microsoft-still-pays
Yesterday an interesting article showed up on the New York Times. Microsoft is still paying for Windows Phone apps, at least for the “high quality” apps.
To be honest for me it is no surprise that Microsoft pays off some of the big app makers to support their Windows Phone OS. As we reported earlier, Microsoft has a – let us call it master plan – to drive the growth of its mobile OS. On point of this plan is to bring the Top 25 apps of Android and iOS to the Windows Phone OS. [click to continue…]

wp-marketplace-growth-march-2012
Yesterday the folks at All About Windows Phone published the new Windows Phone Marketplace numbers. Now there are more than 80,000 apps published to the Marketplace.
While of course not all of these apps are active or available to everyone, this is a big step towards Microsoft’s goal to reach 100,000 apps in front of the launch of Windows Phone Apollo. If the numbers continue to rise with this pace, the 100,000 apps mark will be reached by the end of May. [click to continue…]

Nokia's Play To
It seems Nokia has picked up the whole WP world and put us on their shoulders! What will Nokia be responsible for introducing next involving Windows Phone? MS is leaning heavily on Nokia to bring notoriety to the WP platform and the Finnish company is not letting MS or us down! Today, Nokia released their Beta DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) streaming app, Play To, for Windows Phone bringing more aspects of the WP up to existing standards with Android and iPhone which both utilize DLNA streaming. DLNA allows you to stream your multimedia, such as photos and music to other DLNA connected devices such as computers, cell phones, and other media devices like a gaming consoles. This feature has been missing since WP’s inception and has been a heavily requested feature to be added to future builds to the Windows Phone OS. Congrats Nokia! Hurry up other OEM’s not named Nokia!

Nokia Lumia 610
In an attempt to bring Windows Phones to a younger crowd and people with a more limited budget, Nokia and WP’s other OEM’s are gearing up to release these lower-priced/lower-spec’d devices to the market. Now making the list of regions to be receiving the Nokia Lumia 610, will be the Netherlands. While the Lumia 610 won’t blow you away with all the features available to its bigger and faster Lumia family members sporting 512MB of RAM, this new low cost device with 256MB of RAM will surely offer plenty of bang for its buck!

The download from Windows Phone Marketplace has gone some change over time , initially we have the colourful download buttons available in multiple colours with he text ” for Windows Phone 7 ” and with the release of the web marketplace and with the name change from Windows Phone 7 to just Windows Phone we saw a chance which made the official download button in a single colour with the text ” Download for Windows Phone ” which was a good move IMHO , it represents a more unified logo for Windows Phone and now there is a new one where they have tweaked the colours and have thrown in Windows logo which looks nice and all but I am not a big fan of them changing the download button every so often .. and one has to wonder if they will replace this one with the new one perhaps with the new windows 8 logo which people seem to like better than the old one. What do you guys think ?
