Windows Marketplace reaches “important milestone” of 50,000 published apps
Microsoft's Windows Marketplace has reached 50,000 published applications, which has been called an "important milestone" by some, while others question any impact it may have on device sales.
The latest statistics, gathered by All About Windows Phone, show that Microsoft?s mobile application store, Windows Marketplace, has reached a total of 50,000 published apps. The store?s growth has been accelerating since the platform?s launch earlier in the year, increasing by 20,000 since the end of August, and making the jump from 40,000 to 50,000 apps in just 40 days.
Four categories account for 57% of the store?s content with the biggest being ?entertainment?, but perhaps surprisingly it?s ?books and reference? next, beating ?games? down into third place. In fourth place it?s ?tools and productivity?. These four are separated by less than 1,000 apps, so it could all change in the future.
The split between paid and free apps is similar to the Android Marketplace and the iTunes App Store, with 58% of WP7 apps available for free, and 29% being paid apps. The final 14% contains free trial apps.
Windows Marketplace continues to grow at an estimated rate of 265 apps per day, however in terms of sheer numbers of available apps, Microsoft is still a way behind Android and iOS.
On a similar note a former Microsoft executive, Charlie Kindel, has commented this week on why he thinks Windows Phone is still lagging behind the competition. Calling Windows Phone a ?superior product?, he blames network providers and device manufacturers for not pushing it in the same way they do Android.
End users, he says, ?just do what they?re told by advertisers and sales people,? but because networks chose the easy route of backing Android in their ads, WP7 hasn?t had the right level of exposure yet.
He also appeared to say that applications and developers are irrelevant to a platform?s success, but later clarified the statement by saying they were still important, just not to his argument.
Many disagree, with an analyst for Current Analysis summing up the general consensus by saying the 50,000 app barrier is ?an important milestone,? and that a large app store could help drive sales forward.

Family Mourns Combat Veteran Who Died In Union Co. Plane Crash
A family was mourning the death of a man on Friday after he died in a plane crash.
Lt. Col. Mike Lakin's single-engine Super Decathlon plane crashed Thursday while he was recertifying for low-level aerobatics. Several witnesses and emergency crews tried to save Lakin, but he died after being transported to a hospital, 10TV News reported.
Lakin, 42, who was from Charleston, W. Va., was the son of a World War II veteran and received his pilot's license when he was in high school.
After serving in the Marines and the Navy, Lakin returned to West Virginia, where he joined the West Virginia Air National Guard and spent more than a year on combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, 10TV News reported.
Lakin's associate pastor said Lakin?s life was all about flight, faith and family.
"I think he liked to fly," Associate Pastor Shauna Hyde said. "He offered folks flying trips constantly."
Lakin was also a devoted father to his 8-year-old daughter, Hyde said.
"He wanted her to have the memory that he loved her," Hyde said. "He loved God so much that he made it a priority in his life."
Lakin's plane crashed while performing a low-level snap and roll, just moments after taking off.
Hyde said that his death sends a message about the precious gift of life.
"Even if you've lost someone, there's someone else who loves you and has your love," Hyde said. "That is the great gift."

Much like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber is treating his crew of Beliebers to some new music right in time for the Christmas holiday. On Wednesday night, the pop superstar debuted a new track called "Be Alright" to a jam-packed crowd during his Toronto-based TV concert special, "Justin Bieber: Home for the Holidays," which airs Thursday night (December 22) on MuchMusic and CTV.
"You might hear this on my next album, you might not, but it's a song I'm working on. I still haven't really finished it," Bieber told the screaming crowd, before unveiling the acoustic tune. "Basically, the concept is: Even though when times get hard with your girlfriend or boyfriend, when times get hard, you gotta just let them know that in the end, everything's gonna be alright."
Sitting beside his guitarist, MTV News' #5 Newsmaker of 2011 crooned to the slow jam as the audience clapped their way through his performance, and later on, helped the star sing along to the simple hook. "Across the ocean, across the sea/ Starting to forget the way you look at me now/ Over the ocean and across the sky/ Starting to forget the way you look in my eyes," he sang.
After the holiday special, the teen singer took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the memorable evening, writing, "Tonight was special. No rules. Music, family, friends, fans, charity, and music. Thank you. #HomeForTheHolidays."
"Be Alright" is just a taste of what may come from the singer's next album release. MTV News recently spoke with JB's longtime vocal producer, Kuk Harrell, who discussed his thoughts about the pop star's transition into adulthood.
"The only conversation we've had about Justin's album that we're about to do is it's really important that it's the proper transition because we've seen him [with] 'Baby,' now we're watching him grow up," Harrell told us. "And we can't just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There's a record in between."

WPP Ups Asian Holdings, Buys Stake In Chinese Agency
WPP has gone on a holiday shopping spree acquiring or investing in six agencies and two technology firms in the last month. The latest buy: the purchase of a 49% stake in Chinese ad firm Nanjing Yindu, through WPP?s global agency network Ogilvy & Mather.?
Commenting on the investment, the holding company stated: ?This move expands Ogilvy's reach into the important Yangtze River Delta, a crucial region that encompasses not only Jiangsu province, which has the second-highest GDP [gross domestic product] of all Chinese provinces, but also Anhui and Zhejiang provinces.? WPP added that the investment ?underlines WPP's regional approach in China, not confined to the coastal region.?
The agency?s services include strategic planning, advertising, branding and corporate identity, print and media production and media buying. It employs 250 people and clients include Chinese brands such as Jiangsu Mobile, Heilan Home, Jiangsu Yanghe Brewery, Nanjing Iveco, MoonHare, Simcere, Longliqi and China Construction Bank.
In fact, most of the agencies acquired during the spree are based in Asia. (The exception was the previously reported Washington, D.C.-based Glover Park PR Group). ?
WPP has identified the Asia Pacific region as a key target of opportunity, and its businesses there currently generate revenues of more than $4 billion and employ approximately 42,000 people.?
Last week, through digital shop VML, WPP bought a majority stake in full-service digital-marketing agency Qais Consulting in Singapore. The shop will rebrand as VML Qais and operate as part of Y&R Asia. Qais, which also has a presence in Mumbai, India, has a client roster that includes Standard Chartered Bank, Sony Electronics, Sony Pictures, Hilton Hotels, Mahindra & Mahindra, ICICI Bank, Tata Motors and the Singapore Ministry of Defence.?
Also last week, WPP bought majority stakes in two Asian PR firms, one through Ogilvy PR and the other via Cohn & Wolfe. Ogilvy bought Hong Kong-based Mind Resource Healthcare Consulting, while Cohn Wolfe acquired digital and general interest PR firm XPR, based in Singapore. Two weeks earlier, Cohn Wolfe bought a majority interest in Impactasia, with offices throughout Greater China.
On the technology front, WPP?s 24/7 Real Media, in a bid to bolster its streaming capabilities acquired the assets of Panache, the video advertising software and services company.? The Panache assets will be incorporated into 24/7?s Open AdStream advertising management platform, WPP said.
The holding also took a minority stake in London-based mobile tech firm Lumi Technologies, which has a platform that creates real-time event apps for mobile devices. Clients include EMI, Endemol and Channel 4 in the UK, ABC in the US and Mediaset and YLE in Europe.
Whether the buying spree was the result of coincidently timed opportunities, a year-end using up of the M&A budget or some other reason wasn?t clear. A holding company rep wasn?t available for comment at press time.
