Windows Phone Store is the new name of the Marketplace

Microsoft has officially scrapped the Windows Phone Marketplace, folks. The new go-to place for the software giant’s mobile OS applications will be called Windows Phone Store from now on.

Along with the new name, Microsoft has introduced several improvements to the Windows Phone Store. They include better search functionality powered by Bing, as well as overhauled app lists. The latter include Top Free, Top Paid, as well as New + Rising categories. The new application lists will only be available at the Web Store for now. They are however, expected to hit upcoming Windows Phone devices.

The changes have already landed in Australia and New Zealand. The rest of the world is bound to follow in the coming weeks.

Google Play Store can now charge your movie, music and book downloads to your phone bill

The Play Store has had the ability to charge your app downloads to your phone bill in certain markets and on certain carriers.

Now Google has expanded that to include movies, music and ebooks, basically everything that can be bought off the Play Store, as well.

In the US, this feature is only available to users on AT&T and T-Mobile’s network but it will be coming soon to Sprint customers as well. In Japan, it is available for DoCoMo, KDDI and Softbank customers. Other countries include Germany (T-Mobile International, Vodafone), Italy (Vodafone), Korea (KT, SKT, LGU+), Spain (Vodafone) and UK (T-Mobile International, Vodafone).

Hopefully, Google will add other regions soon. It will also be nice if they could add the option to gift content to others.

RIM Australia admits being behind the ‘Wake Up’ protest outside Apple Store

When the video of the ‘Wake Up’ protest outside the Australian Apple Store hit the Internet, it was generally assumed that Samsung would be behind this, considering their track record of taking jabs at Apple. But later when asked about this, the company denied being behind it.

A few days ago, Mactalk‘s James Croft went through the source code of the Wake Up page and found clues that pointed towards RIM’s Australian website. The date that the website was counting down to was also speculated as the approximate release date for the BlackBerry 10. And lastly, the blogger who just happened to be there to shoot the video of the protest outside the Apple Store has previously worked for RIM.

However, all this was still speculation until the point RIM came out and admitted to being behind the protest. Richelle Gillett, Account Director from Spectrum Communications for Blackberry said:

“We can confirm that the Australian ‘Wake Up’ campaign, which involves a series of experiential activities taking place across Sydney and Melbourne, was created by RIM Australia. A reveal will take place on May 7th that will aim to provoke conversation on what ‘being in business’ means to Australians.”

I find it ironic that RIM is asking people to wake up, a company that is having a hard time keeping people interested in its products. It would have made sense if Samsung was behind this; at least they make good products. RIM’s, on the other hand, are known to put people to sleep.

On an unrelated note, is amateur hour over yet?
