Windows Phone Marketplace hits 60,000 apps

Damn! The WP Marketplace is growing very rapidly! My prediction is that by the end of 2012, it'll break the 100,000 apps barrier. That's unless the Mayans are right.

"While they ( WP7 apps) still aren’t at the level, both quality and quantity wise, of iOS and Android..."

I can't speak for iOS but I've had a android phones for a couple years and their app market is large but 'quality' is definitely not a adjective i'd ever use to describe it. There are plenty of great apps but just as many crap apps.

I own an ipad and an android phone. I tried windows phone and it seems to have combined both OS's.its smooth and simple. We should help support them.

As an Android user, there are a lot of great apps in Market, but there are a lot more junk. I don't know about the iOS App Store, but with such a huge number, I'd guess there are a lot of junk apps too. I am now also a WP7 user so what excites me more about the article is not the "hits 60,000 Apps" part but the '“top 25 apps” will be released' part!

Amazing feet I would say. Some flaws. Most are 3rd party repeatative apps.

As if this was not mentioned before... I am an Android user as well as a WP user, and the quality of apps on WP platform is almsot always higher than that of the Android market.

There may be more random apps on Android platform, but WP pretty much has all the bases covered.
