Zune HD’s "Apps" menu item spotted in the Marketplace, still short on details

At Best Buy’s Zune HD preview today a certain Matthew Arkin on Qik was able to shoot footage of the “Apps” item that resides within the “Marketplace” section on the device. It’s still incredibly unclear what Microsoft’s plans are for that functionality — they’ve long admitted its existence, but have waffled on the name and have been reticent to show it off in meetings with us. Microsoft so far has only promised to have applications on par with the games currently available for Zune, but there’s obviously a lot of implied competition with Apple’s App Store that the word “Apps” on a touchscreen device conjures up

Microsoft tells WinMo devs they’re beautiful, worth more than 99 cents

For many (if not most) iPhone developers, the App Store’s overheated competition and bloated inventory have led to scorched-earth pricing that makes it virtually impossible to parlay mobile development into a valid for-profit business model without turning to subscriptions or in-app advertising. RIM’s tried to nip that behavior in the bud by capping the minimum sale price at $2.99 , and it sounds like Microsoft feels the same way in light of the flowery, motivational language being thrown the way of developers at learning sessions ahead of the Marketplace’s launch. “I know, 99 cents is interesting — yes, consumers like to pay 99 cents for applications,” admits Microsoft’s Loke Uei, “but 99 cents, come on, I think your app is worth more than that.” You heard it straight from the horse’s mouth, people — your app is worth more than that
