Rolling out Windows Phone Marketplace for Launch

Summary:

. . . We’ve given Marketplace an overhaul . . .

. . . biggest changes to Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 are features and streamlined processes to help developers get their apps to market faster . . .

. . . we’re going to be very deliberate in our timeline for rolling out Marketplace . . .

. . . gradually ramp-up to full self-service capacity . . .

. . . Marketplace fully available to all developers in November . . .

. . . working toward a beta distribution solution to allow developers to privately distribute their apps for testing through Marketplace. . . .

. . . first payout of sales to date to take place in February . . .

So...who from HN is developing for this market place or plans to do that? I really wonder what kind of audience of developers this device attracts.

First thing, the name is too long.

"Check out this thing on App Store" vs. "Check out this thing on Windows Phone Marketplace". I feel bad even typing it out.

People in whose focus is Marketing should never be allowed to blog. I feel like I need to go bleach my eyes.
