It seems that everyone is talking app stores these days. Apple started the trend and is doing a very good job selling applications through their App Store. It probably helps that users cannot install applications in any other way unless they risk jailbreaking their precious iPhones.
Microsoft recently announced their own Marketplace that will be included with every device running Windows Mobile 6.5 on. Of course developers will probably still be able to distribute their applications through other means, whether that be sites like Handango and MobiHand or through their own means. You would think that would mean that Microsoft would make it easy for developers to get their applications into the Marketplace, right?
Well…it is Microsoft after all…
