The 20th MobileMonday Taipei to be held tomorow, 7pm

Just a quick post to remind those of you who live in Taipei or nearby that the 20th MobileMonday Taipei will be held tomorow evening, 7pm at Mary’s Bistro (2 Floor, No.89, Sec 2 Ren-Ai Rd., Taipei City). Unless I'm stuck elsewhere, I'll be there to attend the presentation that will focus on Windows shopping and the future of Windows Marketplace for Mobile

Microsoft plans to launch an App Store that lets Windows Mobile users find, purchase, and download programs directly from the phones. It’ll work much like the iPhone App Store and the upcoming BlackBerry App World. Microsoft will take a 30% cut on the sales of any paid applications. That’s the same fee that Apple charges, although Research in Motion keeps just 20%. Although Windows Marketplace will only works for Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Mobile 7, and it will be launched later this year.

It seems that because of the success of iPhone and its app store, everyone is trying to doing the same thing, could this marketplace be the answer for Windows to gain more market share in the smartphone operating systems? As for developers, what are their thoughts about this new change? This month’s MobileMonday Taipei, we invite some MVP (most valued professional) of windows mobile application development to share with us their experiences in developing windows mobile application and what they think about this change.
