Over 2 million Windows Phone 7 licences sold, 6,500 apps available
Microsoft continues to trickle out some information about the sales of its Windows Phone 7 operating system, as the software giant told Engadget that it has sold over 2 million licenses already.
The news comes about a month after some ambiguous figures said 1.5 million Windows Phone 7 units were sold to retailers, although that doesn’t necessarily mean those are in the hands of customers. Likewise, the licenses are to manufacturers like HTC and Samsung, so the 2 million figure could actually mean the same as the amount sold to retailers.
Additionally, Microsoft said the Windows Phone 7 Windows Marketplace for Mobile now has more than 6,500 apps available, which is a decent clip considering it was launched just a few months ago. Still, if you’re comparing it against market leaders like Apple and Google, it is woefully behind.
