Windows Marketplace for Mobile – update on updates
Reed & Steve (http://blogs.msdn.com/hegenderfer/default.aspx) have posted re an announcement of details from the Marketplace team around the “Windows Marketplace for Mobile”.
There had been concern that updates to applications would be counted in the the $99 fee. This has been clarified by the Marketplace team in answers to the following questions (as taken from Reed & Steve’s blog)
A: No, if your application has been previously certified and published in the catalog, you can submit subsequent updates without incurring any additional fees. The application update will be made available through Windows Marketplace to all customers that have downloaded your application in the past.
Q: I previously heard that you only had 7 days to submit a free update. Has this changed?
A: Yes, we originally communicated that only application updates submitted within 7 days of their publish date would benefit from a free submission. After talking to the developer community and better understanding the dynamics and frequency of application updates, we have decided to extend the original 7-day window and make it permanent. This means that if an application has been previously approved in the marketplace the developer can submit updates to it without incurring any additional fees.”
We’d recommend keep track of developer.windowsmobile.com as more details are made public.
