Confirmed: Marketplace will be the only way to get apps on Windows Phone 7 Series | |

The only official way to get apps on a Windows Phone 7 Series device will be to download them from the just-detailed Windows Phone Marketplace. That means developers will have to abide by Microsoft's technical and content guidelines in order to make it in, with the very real possibility of rejection -- sound familiar? Todd told us Microsoft plans to avoid Apple-style submission headaches by making the process transparent and predictable, with a group of Microsoft execs regularly meeting to examine edge cases and refine the guidelines as needed, but even the best intentions can be led astray by a sexy app or two. We also got some additional details on Marketplace and how it's going to work, catch the highlights after the break. | ||

Emulator got unlocked. Looks like 'copy-and-paste' code is already there, at least parts of it :-) Some other interesting stuff in there too. See links in comments here:

I don't mind an app store being an _option_ either. But being the only choice in a handcuffed environment is the kind of shit that simply must end. WE, as consumers, must demand it and vote with our wallets.
That goes for Apple too. Microsoft's limiting of USB devices to 16GB in the spring XBOX 360 update is yet another example of this. That limit is purely to control and protect their sales of overpriced hard drives. This stuff should be illegal. |

#26: and not only that......... There could be the possibility of more customizations etc.
The only problem is that we would have to start a cat and mouse game as with a jailbroken iPhone where, most probably, any update from MS wlould relock it etc. etc. But indeed it seems more interesting now...... |
