004Looks like Microsoft is playing catchup once more.  This time not with the Zune, but with the Mobile App Marketplace.  It is now open to developer submissions, meaning lookout Apple!  hm, not so much.

Microsoft’s now accepting app submissions for the Windows Mobile Marketplace, so they can begin the grand process of certification, which should “normally take about 10 business days.” Best part for devs is that they can actually monitor their apps’ progress.

Microsoft’s also promising a “detailed report” explaining why an app gets rejected, if it does. A not-so-subtle, but altogether appropriate, jab at Apple’s black box iPhone app approval process. And developers can win things, like a Surface table. Oooo.

But you know, don’t submit not too many apps now. [Windows Team Blog]
