  • Windows Phone Marketplace Hits 20,000 Applications Mark

     

    Finally Windows Phone Marketplace has been able to hit the 20,000 apps mark but still it’s way behind Android Market and Appstore. Just two and half months ago Windows Phone Marketplace became the fastest store to hit the 10,000 mark and now another 10k apps have been added to it. Like all other app stores Windows Phone Marketplace has some low quality apps.

    You can expect to have loads of quality apps once the Mango tools have been released. Other than that there will be a significant increase in the number of Applications in the windows market once Nokia releases Windows Phone handsets. Some months ago Nokia started recruiting app developers which is a clear sign that Nokia wants to have much applications in the Windows Phone marketplace. We expect it to have near about 50,000 apps by the end of this year. Is this rapid increase in the number of apps for Windows Phone enough to convince you to shift to Windows Phone let us know through your comments.
