In mere twenty months, Windows Phone marketplace has achieved the milestone of more than 100000 applications. This implies that around 313 new applications have been included each day, making WP platform a member of the elite group comprising of iOS and Android.
This is not bad for an applications store striving to compete with the likes of Apple's iTunes & Google's Play. As per reports from All About Windows Phone, Microsoft's mobile application market accomplished the 100k benchmark more rapidly than Android, which required twenty four months, however it was slower than iOS, which took only sixteen months to achieve this.
Last July Microsoft's applications marketplace achieved 25,000 applications and by the time December came it possessed 50,000 applications. So, in fourteen months they published 50k apps. Interestingly, it took only five months for this amount to get doubled.
All About Windows Phone states that more than 26,000 applications were published in the previous 3 months & approximately 9,000 apps were published in the last month itself. Around 24,000 publishers were involved in this process.
Even though 100,000 applications are said to be published, not all of them are presently live. A few have by now been phased-out, whilst some of them are in staging. The real live number is 88,371 applications. In addition, not every application is accessible all over the world. At this moment, only sixty nations carry Windows Phone Marketplace. It also differs from place to place which applications are accessible. For instance, 77,450 apps are obtainable in the United States, which flaunts the maximum number of apps. Saudi Arabia with only 20000 apps has the least.
