Software Maker said it will charge developers $ 99 per year, plus $ 99 for each application they submit to get OK in Windows Marketplace Store. Until the end of this year, but developers who register will be able to submit five applications for no additional charge.

Software Maker defended his charge: “Microsoft will be a rigorous certification process to ensure that the end-user experience is optimal, and that the device and network resources that are not used in a dangerous way,” said the representative of Microsoft in a statement. “This process has significant cost, and Microsoft believes $ 99 is an acceptable value for the business (the developers) to get in front of millions of prospective customers.”

Software Maker promised that it will also offer developers a “complete transparency, the entire process of application, as well as direct links. Apple has been criticized for being slow to respond to the questions, while application developers in the approval process, as well as developers with little information on why certain applications were rejected.

Construction companies that have decided to charge for their programs will keep 70 percent of revenue. (Free names will also be allowed). For comparison, Apple also gives developers 70 percent of sales over the quarter to store applications for iPhone and IPod Touch. Research In Motion has promised to give the developers 80 percent cut in their store.

Microsoft announced plans for the mobile storage devices in the past month, Mobile World Congress. The store is set to debut by running Windows Mobile 6.5, in the fourth quarter of this year.

Software Maker plans to give developers the start of registration for the spring and start applying this summer.

Microsoft also said that the beginning of sales and marketing programs to help developers, but does not say how large that the program will be.
