Windows Phone could have 50,000 apps by the end of the year
Okay, Rafe Blandford’s projections actually have the 50K mark being passed in early January, but with a bundle of new developers and the general extra buzz thanks to Nokia’s successful launch of the Lumia 800 today (well, they would say that, wouldn’t they), I think that milestone is on before the end of 2011. And who would have said that was achievable at the start of the year outside of Redmond?
…the Windows Phone Marketplace has now passed the 40,000 app and games submission mark. Content is being added at the rate of 165 items per day… at the time of writing, 40,189 items have been published. Of these, 10,882 were added in the last 90 days and 4,770 were added in the last 30 days. These items come from 10,731 different publishers.
