Microsoft Tambahkan Indonesia untuk App Hub, Marketplace Menyusul

Microsoft melakukan gebrakan awal tahun dengan menambahkan enam negara baru di App Hub untuk distribusi aplikasi dan game di Windows Phone, sehingga jumlah negara yang terdaftar kini mencapai 41. Negara-negara baru itu adalah Argentina, Cina, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, dan Filipina. Namun ini tidak berarti bahwa Windows Marketplace sudah terbuka di negara-negara tersebut.

Apa yang Microsoft lakukan adalah membuka lebih banyak saluran distribusi bagi para pengembang yang telah ada dan bersiap-siap untuk peluncuran Marketplace di negara baru, sejalan dengan persiapan perangkat Windows Phone yang juga akan segera meluncur ke beberapa negara yang belum mendapatkannya.

Para pengembang dari negara-negara tersebut masih harus menunggu sebelum mereka dapat mengajukan aplikasi mereka, karena Microsoft masih perlu melakukan penyesuaian akhir untuk pendaftaran Marketplace yang disesuaikan dengan kondisi lokal.

Developers from the aforementioned countries though, still have to wait before they can submit their apps as Microsoft still has yet to finalize Marketplace registration and compliance with local conditions.
