With this, app makers will be paid by Microsoft to develop a version of these apps for the Windows Phone, such as the mobile social network Foursquare and the Cheezburger Network, a large set of entertaining and humorous sites. Aside from these, Microsoft has also been said to pay developers from $60,000 to $600,000 in order to create apps from similarly popular and recently developing brands to upgrade its app catalog.
Compared to the Apple’s iOS or Google Android, Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform remains to be at a basic level with which its number of apps remain at around 65,000 whereas the iOS is close to 600,000 and Android got more than 400,000.
