Good news for all those who have a cell phone on Windows 7 Phone! Indeed, the Marketplace Microsoft has just surpassed the 10,000 mark applications. A score more honorable than the threshold of 9,000 applications was taken in early March and that the platform is not necessarily more accessible, at least not for developers ... Suffice to say that the Redmond company seems determined to catch up and even to conquer our hearts.
As I pointed out one of my lovely readers, the big problem of Windows 7 Phone, this technology is imposed by the platform developers. To make their applications, they must encode them into effect. NET, Silverlight or XNA. That said, it may be noted that Microsoft has decided to open its Windows 7 Phone to open source and free (source). A gesture that seems to have been well received by its developer community and is expected to contribute to the development of Marketplace.
In short, going back to the figures, the Marketplace of Windows 7 Phone account so now a little over 10,000 applications. And even if he fails to reach the level of the AppStore (350 000 + applications) or Market (+ 100,000), we note that it resembles more of the BlackBerry App World (+ 20,000). As I said in my previous article on the subject, the gap is indeed trying to reduce. At the current rate things are going, Microsoft is expected soon to catch up and then surpass RIM.

And the recent agreement between Microsoft and Nokia should further improve the positioning of the Marketplace on the market and allow Windows 7 Phone better win against its competitors. In any event, even if it appears that a large part of the officiating developers working on the Marketplace for the firm, it is obviously a good thing and we can even say it all more remarkable that Windows 7 Phone came on late.
Finally, remember to finish the next major update of Windows 7 Phone should foster the emergence of applications even more original and mature than what can currently be found on the Marketplace. For indeed, thanks to the latter, the mobile branded platform of the firm can take advantage of ... KINECTS. Yes, the same KINECTS which has sold 10 million copies and was preparing to return soon in the Guinness Book of Records
