Windows Phone 7 to Launch with 2,000 Applications



Many are eagerly awaiting for the launch of the Windows Phone 7, and with good reason — the platform looks decent. Windows Phone fans now have one more reason to be excited about new mobile OS by Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft . It appears that early adopters will have 2,000 applications to choose from at launch. The information comes from a leaked image of a Three U.K. document [pictured], which corroborates the October 21 launch date of Windows Phone 7 in the U.K.

While 2,000 applications might seem very low compared to the 250,000 applications found in the Apple App Store, I believe that the number is more than great for a new platform — given that all of the applications present are good apps.

With that said, Windows Phone 7 will be introduced on Monday, October 11 at events in New York City, New York and London, U.K. The actual Windows Phone 7 hardware is expected to arrive on October 21 in the U.K. and other European countries, and on or around November 8 here in the United States.

It’s definitely an exciting time for Microsoft and fans alike. Hopefully, Windows Phone 7 will deliver.
