If you’re an Asian developer looking to get your apps onto the Windows store, today is your lucky day. Microsoft announced today that in anticipation of the October launch of Windows 8, the windows store is now open to app developers from 82 new app submission markets, for a total of more than 120. The company promises devs that once Windows 8 is out, the store will serve customers in over 200 countries and regions and offer apps in more than 100 languages.
Although this may not have been the most opportune moment for an announcement like this — everyone is thinking about iPhone apps right now for obvious reasons — it’s still good news for the many Asian devs eager to get their apps on the Windows platform. We expect to see Windows 8 devices perform decently in the mobile space in Asia, but there’s no reason to count desktop apps out of the mix either when so many in Asia are using PCs at home and at work. We look forward to seeing what APAC’s creative app developers can come up with!
