When you just meet the 15 days since its release in society (without bearing a week in the Spanish market), Windows Phone 7 already has its first major brand, but it still is not up to that of other companies. The application store this operating system for smart phones, known as the Marketplace, just overcome a thousand items, which could consider that he began his career by trying to catch those runners who are App Store (with more than 300,000 Applications) and Android Market (which already exceeds 100,000).
Obviously, buying the Marketplace with the download services of Apple and Google is somewhat unfair and excessive at this point. But if we compare it with the previous Microsoft application store, we do see a possible brilliant trajectory.
And it is that the Marketplace of the platform that preceded Windows Phone 7, Windows Mobile, took a whopping seven months to reach its first thousand applications available. Of course, in those days the competition in this field was not at the level of what we know today, among other things, because that operating system practically circulated alone.
The bulk of applications developed for Windows Phone 7 and registered in the Marketplace are primarily intended for the American public (the main market for this platform). In our country, the arrival of the first mobiles with the new platform by the operators Movistar and Vodafone has been warmer than expected.
And that's despite the fact that the launch offers articulated by both included console giveaways. The lack of a prior promotion and the consequent ignorance on the part of users who are not fans of mobile technology could be the main reasons for the general disinterest caused by the landing of Windows Phone 7 in our country. That is not to mention the delay with which WP7 arrives at the party of advanced mobile operating systems.
