App Store, Android Market and "Zune Phone Application Shopping Mall"

A few months after Apple's App Store's huge success, Google has decided (or planned long ago) to open their Android Market for their mobile platform Android. The site did indeed excites for a while. As a developer, I can't help thinking about the possibility of developing for Android, now that all the essential resources are ready, an SDK, a real phone and the place to sell applications.

Microsoft has been lagging behind on this matter, which they are not ashamed of. However, they definately would like to take a bite from this giant pie. Rumor has been out saying that there will be some sort of Zune based phone, or Windows Mobile based Zune to be unveiled in the near future; and of couse the App Store concept will be copied (re-innovated, in MS term) too! As Microsoft has their fame of naming their product very creatively, I hereby predit that the name is possibly "Zune Phone Application Shopping Mall", beating Apple and Google at least by the length of store name.
