Microsoft has posted a list of no-no’s for the Mobile Marketplace; 12 items that will get a developer’s app rejected or pulled from their app store.
Among the more interesting things, some of which we knew before:
- no competing app stores (i.e. Mobihand can’t distribute a WinMo app client through the Marketplace)
- no VOIP over carriers’ networks, although no mention of WiFi
- nothing that changes the default dialer, SMS, or MMS interface (interesting…)
- no changing the default browser, search client, or media player “on the device” (does this mean beloved apps like CorePlayer or PocketMusic? New browsers like Skyfire and Opera? I can’t imagine…)
This list really begs more questions than it answers and will surely be followed up by a more comprehensive distributor’s agreement of some kind. See the full list of faux-pas after the jump.
