Re: Microsoft Hoping to Price Windows Mobile Apps Above $099

The higher price point may be Microsoft's way of pricing out the useless, mundane apps. Research in Motion did something similar, setting $2.99 as a minimum in their BlackBerry App World market. Still, while you may not be able to find an app for $0.99 officially via Marketplace for Mobile, developers can distribute applications for Windows Mobile themselves either through third party applications storefronts like Handango or via their own websites.

damn i didnt think windows marketplace was open is it? looks like it is going to be pretty cool and should have good useful and fun apps and not just the ones that you touch and they say something like a soundboard.
