There are nearly 9,500 apps in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. With that number growing by an average of 100 daily, Microsoft’s new mobile platform is less than a week away from crossing the 10,000 app mark.
Microsoft spoke out today with a refresh of its usual set of statistics, claiming 32,000 registered developers, and one million downloads of the Windows Phone developer tools. While those numbers are interesting, Microsoft had more news, announcing tweaks to Marketplace rules and unveiling its new Global Publisher Program.
Microsoft has raised the number of apps that a developer can have for free in its mobile app store from 5 to 100, in effect removing any cap. Also, following what was a massive storm in a tea kettle, Microsoft had new words on open source licence usage on the WP7 platform:
The Marketplace Application Provider Agreement (APA) already permits applications under the BSD, MIT, Apache Software License 2.0 and Microsoft Public License. We plan to update the APA shortly to clarify that we also permit applications under the Eclipse Public License, the Mozilla Public License and other, similar licenses and we continue to explore the possibility of accommodating additional OSS licenses.
While that does not provide for an immediate fix to the controversy, it lays the groundwork for a smooth future.
Microsoft also launched the Global Publisher Program, a system by which developers from around the world can submit their applications to a Global Publisher who can then put them into the Marketplace. What effect will this have? Developers who have been kept out by the rules can now get their hard work into the WP7 app world, potentially boosting the number of apps that are submitted daily.
Microsoft knows that no mobile platform can survive without a legion of happy developers, and it seems committed to attracting just such a group. Of course, the company could yet blunder, but for now Microsoft appears to be moving in the right direction.

Fresh coolant injected, high-radiation water leaks in nuke crisis <b>…</b>

Watch out Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, there may be a new challenger on the gaming market. Lenovo is planning to launch a new gaming console to rival the “Big Three” in China.
Lenovo – popular for their ThinkPad laptops – has shocked the world by announcing that they’re going to take a shot at creating a new video game system named the Lenovo eBox. Stepping into the video game industry is a very bold move and if you’re wondeingr what would drive Lenovo to take such a risk, you might be able to get a clue by looking at the name of their new gaming console.
Lenovo’s new eBox console’s name bares a very strong resemblance to Microsoft’s Xbox and that stands to reason because Lenovo was inspired to create their gaming system after seeing the Xbox Kinect. Lenovo’s eBox will be part Xbox Kinect clone and part Nintendo Wii clone because it will be the second gaming system that requires no gaming controls like the Xbox Kinect, but will have graphics closer to the Nintendo Wii.
Lenovo plans to market their Kinect/Wii clone in China where there are over 120 families to market the eBox to. In addition to marketing their eBox console solely in the China market, Lenovo also has over 16 gaming developers that are working to create games for Lenovo’s Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii Clone.
Lenovo has created a sub-company called Beijing eedo Technology and has a team of over 40 Lenovo engineers currently working on the project. Even though the eBox has only been in the works for over a month, Lenovo seems overly optimistic about the eBox project.
If the eBox were introduced to the United States market, it’d likely be laughed back into the darkest corner of the gaming industry, but China is the perfect place to market a console like the eBox. China is no stranger to knock-off consoles – especially ones that start with the letter “e” – and even settled for the notorious Nintendo Wii clone known as the Chintendo Vii.
Lenovo might be onto something, but in order to stay successful Lenovo will have to keep their fake Wii and Xbox Kinect clone far away from American soil.
