Windows Phone 7 Marketplace Details Released
From Ars Technica:
As with Apple’s App Store, Marketplace membership will cost developers $99 per year. For this, they will be able to submit an unlimited number of paid applications (with the same 70/30 split as the Apple store and existing Marketplace) and five free applications. Subsequent free applications will cost $19.99 to submit.
Windows Phone Lack of Upgrade
As a website all about apps for phones, our position in the market is to review apps across platforms. Hence, we have phones of all types here at the office. Today I was planning on spending a good portion of the day on my much ignored Windows 6.5 machine from Sprint.
I got to thinking about buying new apps and what my upgrade path will be when I/we adopt Windows Phone 7. Microsoft has decided to start from scratch in their development for their new OS and that means no upgrades. Yes you read that correctly. If you are, a loyal customer of Windows Mobile, your cache of apps will be garbage when you make the light year jump to Windows Phone 7.
