Microsoft Unveils Windows Phone 7 series Live Marketplace | Details

Windows Phone 7 Series has a bold new User Interface, and a brand new mobile Operating System outlook from the Redmond-based company, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether or not the platform will have an App Store competitor and Finally it’s done. Named as the Windows Phone Marketplace will be the successor to the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

Microsoft says that it’s a smarter way to find your apps, games, and music for your phone, thanks to the panoramic view that Windows Phone 7 Series is highlighting. You can also find featured items of the day. There’s also the ability to read reviews of the applications you want, as well as “try before you buy,” which is created by the developers. They can choose how long an application can be tested, before the customer is opted to buy it. You'll be able to browse and buy apps and games through the Zune desktop client on your PC. You'll be able to uninstall purchased apps and re-download them at a later time at your leisure, the purchases are tied to your Live account, not your phone, so you can move between devices at will. That's a Microsoft policy that developers won't be able to override.

Free development tools for Windows Phone 7 Series are available as of today. These include Silverlight, the XNA Game Studio 4.0, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone, Windows Phone 7 Series Emulator (for app testing), and a Windows Phone 7 Series add-in (to use with Visual Studio 2010 RC). The WP7 dev tools have features that include: accelerometer support, hardware-accelerated video support, multi-touch, Microsoft Location Service and Microsoft Notification Service.
