Optimized App Selection Spearheaded By Skype
Microsoft knows it dropped the ball on the app development end with WP7. So it’s looking to make up for the disaster by bringing new and enhanced versions of the best mobile apps on the market. We should expect to see “46 out of the top 50 apps” on the platform in the future. Leading the pact is the new Skype app. For one, the popular voice calling program is beautifully designed. Second, you now have the ability to take calls at anytime. Lastly, the app can run in the background constantly without affecting battery life.
Pandora was another major app announcement made at the event and will be available for download with one year of free music: ad-free. And we already put you onto the latest Facebook app optimization ala unlock screen. Microsoft will also release its SDK (software development kit) to aspiring developers throughout the course of the next few days.
