Job Posting Hints at Merged Nokia/Microsoft Marketplace?

Written By Penulis on Senin, 14 Maret 2011 | 15.12


One of the most intriguing parts of the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft was the news that their assets would be merged and both companies would have access to each others' large databases of information and services. But there have still been quite a few questions regarding how this 'merger' would affect the end user. MobileTechWorld recently stumbled onto a Microsoft Careers job posting that hints at a marketplace uniting both Microsoft's and Nokia's apps. Here's an excerpt from the job description:
The Commerce Services development team in Windows Phone Services will develop the service software to power the shared application marketplace for Nokia and Microsoft alliance. You will explore, prototype and design the integration between two marketplaces.
The key words in those lines are "shared application marketplace" and "integration between two marketplaces". Most, including myself, believed that the Ovi Store brand would carry over to Nokia devices in a way similar to what other OEMs have done so far with their mini storefronts that are exclusive to their own hardware. But this posting suggests that a much deeper level of integration between Microsoft and Nokia could be coming to the Marketplace than we originally thought. The real question now is: how?
