After many concerns and complaints of Windows Phone 7 lacking enough titles to support and satisfy the new wave of app-hungry smartphone users, Microsoft confirmed today that developer support has exceeded expectations. In a post on The Windows Phone Developer Blog, Todd Brix of Microsoft announced that the Windows Marketplace for Mobile is now home to approximately 2,000 apps and games that are all compatible with Windows Phone 7 devices. The company’s target which was set last month is nearly doubled as of right now. Microsoft also announced that the Marketplace is fully open to app submissions and is informing everyone that is currently has 13,000 registered Windows Phone 7 developers. Windows Phone 7, which launched Monday in the U.S, is Microsoft’s attempt to reclaim consumer interest in its smartphones. Continued developer support is one of several keys to the success of the platform, and Microsoft is definitely facing an uphill battle when compared to the likes of Apple and Google.
