14 DAY TRIAL // Windows Phone fans rejoice, as Microsoft has just announced that Windows Phone Store now features more than 200,000 apps. The company has also confirmed that its application store surpassed 12 million transactions per day.
Microsoft’s Windows Phone Store is now available in over 190 markets. The fact that the Windows Phone Store is available in so many countries is likely to attract more developers into creating new apps for Microsoft’s mobile platform and offer it in as many regions as possible.
The Redmond-based company also highlights some of the benefits of creating Windows Phone paid apps, which can be published to markets with carrier billing enabled to take advantage of the increased download rates in those markets.
Last but not least, Microsoft reiterates its continued support for Windows Phone fans by investing “in establishing carrier billing connections, recognizing that in many markets (especially those where credit card penetration is low) the preferred method for consumers is to purchase apps via your carrier and the billing relationship you already have established.”
