We’re eagerly awaiting Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 launch on Monday October 11, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want more details right now. �According to Engadget‘s tipster, Windows Phone 7 will launch with 2,000 applications ready and waiting in the Windows Phone Marketplace.
That’s obviously a whole lot less than either the Apple App Store or the Android Market have to offer, but what might make the difference is the quality of those titles. �Both Apple and Google’s download stores have been criticized as unhelpful for users wanting to sift the decent apps from the less impressive software, and if Microsoft has prepared a more curated, satisfying experience then sheer numbers might not actually be the most important thing.
The tipster also confirmed that Three UK will be getting a Samsung Windows Phone 7 smartphone, most likely the Samsung Cetus. �The same handset has also been tipped to arrive on AT&T, though we may have to wait a couple of days to find out whether that’s actually going to be the case.
