Developers will also get the same deal as at Apple App Store, in that they can set their own prices.

The Window Phone Marketplace is set to launch with around 1000 mobile applications initially, a far weep from Apple’s estimated 135,000, but microsoft be inflicted with made some commanding applications alliances with companies such as Namco,  EA, ,Associated Press, Foursquare, Lob, Pandora, Netflix and Shazam.
