I following a growth rate of 300 new daily applications, the Marketplace of Microsoft continued smooth sailing downloadable feeding options for users of Windows Phone. The latest data places those available in the virtual showcase of the new generation of Windows phones above 70,000 applications, which in just a year and a half of life has managed to acquire a very competitive amount of programs, games and utilities that amplify the possibilities of the touch mobile where it is installed.
The information comes as Windows Phone is about to begin an important episode in its market expansion program. The landing of the Lumia family "" flagship at the service of both Microsoft and Nokia "" in China is anticipated as the most important injection of quota with which those of Redmond seek to inoculate the success that, until the alliance with the Finnish giant It seemed to be extended over and over again. Nonetheless, the two-headed manufacturer's plan could sync a significant global presence to assault three of the biggest markets in Microsoft and Nokia's aspirations: Asia, the United States and Europe.
In the case of the Old Continent, the strengthening that Nokia seeks with its presence through its family of smartphones ”” divided into three parts, made up of mobile phones formerly known as Symbian, with the Nokia 808 as the standard, as well as the Nokia Lumia and the affordable Nokia Asha ”” not only hopes to stop Apple, Samsung or Sony: it also has a high symbolic load, with the Finnish being the last major reference in device manufacturing after Sony's purchaseof the stakes that the Swedish Ericsson had in the joint venture that has already gone down in history.
Something similar, although in the opposite way, would happen in the United States, where Windows Phone is the argument with which Nokia wants to recover a practically lost market. In the Chinese case, the huge volume of customers subscribed to two of the main operators in the Asian giant, China Mobile and China Telecom, is causing important courtships by the main manufacturers on the planet. Apple has been trying for not a short time to certify its presence in the Asian market in this regard, although it seems that Nokia and Microsoft "" through Windows Phone, as we say "" could be ahead of those ofCupertino, presenting versions of its Lumia devices with the due standard of connections on which both operators operate. Thus, and using an attractive portfolio, they could skyrocket their market share in the field of terminals and platforms for smartphones .
With this, in addition, Windows Phone would gain in attractiveness in the face of developers, a key element in the growth of the application store of this operating system. At this time, the platform has the support of some 100,000 developers subscribed to Windows Phone, although the goal is to make the number of professionals dedicated to the profusion of applications grow, with the idea of expanding the pace of growth of the Marketplace and looking From you to you to the powerful Android Market of Google and AppStore of Apple.
