Windows Phone 7 Instant Photo Hub Camera - Digital Photo App Editing Software

Windows Phone 7 Marketplace will be the app store for the Windows Phone Series 7 when it is released (2010 holiday season). Microsoft has said you will be able to "easily discover and load the phone with certified applications and games." What is not for certain yet is will the apps be downloaded off a unified Windows Phone 7 Marketplace storefront or is there a two-tiered download strategy separating games and the other apps.

At the Feb 15, 2010 demonstration of Windows Phone 7 Marketplace a Marketplace menu item was shown in the Zune hub. The apps highlighted shown on the demo unit were music services. One expects at MIX there will be a big push on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace apps with microsoft photo software heavily featured.

Looking forward to the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace it may be useful look back at the existing app marketplace to infer a developer strategy. However this has been a total mobile strategy revamp by Microsoft so it may not be useful! (The vagueness of Microsoft confuses.)  I am looking forward to play with the digital photo editing software with Microsoft photo software.

Microsoft on Windows Phone 7 Marketplace has said “For third party applications, we'll get into a lot more detail on this in MIX” and a suggestion that Windows Phone 7 may not multitask as expected “but we have a few ways we going to make sure that 3rd parties can bring their value to the user even when the app is not running.” 

The Windows Phone 7 Marketplace certainly looks cool (check the screenshots) with the “marketplace live tiles are an example. Data feeds in the hubs are another example.”

Windows Phone 7 Marketplace has been shown what it is going to look like, very Zune HD. However we don’t know if the SDK will encourage a consistent aesthetic like the iPhone apps. Will Windows Phone 7 Marketplace apps have to conform to a strict set of design rules? Professional photo editing software and digital picture software will enhance the camera capabilities of the Windows Phone.

There are roughly 800 apps in the Marketplace Mobile. How many Windows Phone 7 Marketplace apps will be in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace? Comparing available inventory in other official app stores, iPhone iTunes App Store, has around 130,000 applications, Android Market around 20,000 apps, and Palm App Catalog has about 1200 apps. Windows Mobile still seems to be lagging. Windows Phone 7 Marketplace may change that.

Well there is much up in the air, Windows Phone 7 Marketplace could be revolutionary or could it be another Microsoft dud? It will be interesting to see people’s comments on this one.
