Singapore<\/strong>, <\/strong>3 November<\/strong> 2010 \u2013<\/strong> LG Electronics (LG) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) announced today that they are teaming up to provide customers with a free selection of quality applications for LG customers with Windows Phone 7 handsets. LG and Microsoft will subsidize an evolving portfolio of hand-picked applications, providing free access to quality applications that take advantage of the unique features and design of Windows Phone 7.<\/p>\n

LG and Microsoft will offer Windows Phone 7 applications across popular categories \u2013 including social connectivity, gaming and helpful utilities\u2013 ensuring that customers have access to the applications they value most. Ten free applications with a value of more than USD 30 will be given away every 60 days. LG\u2019s Windows Phone 7 customers can download these applications for free (for a period of 60 days) via LG Application Store, which will be accessible directly from LG Windows Phone 7 models.<\/p>\n

Selected Windows Phone application developers will be provided with exclusive marketing opportunities and resources to promote their applications with LG. Developers of selected applications will benefit from promotional support through LG\u2019s marketing presence and Microsoft\u2019s Windows Phone Marketplace. LG will promote the new applications through in-store sales events and on the LG Mobile Global Facebook page (http:\/\/on.fb.me\/bltMvp<\/strong><\/a>), creating a larger market for developers and bringing them closer to their audiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we pledged early last year to support Microsoft\u2019s smartphone strategy, we knew we were making a decision that had the potential to generate ripples in the ecosystem,\u201d said Chang Ma, Vice President of Mobile Communications (MC) Marketing Strategy Team. \u201cMicrosoft\u2019s commitment to the developer community is well known and respected in the industry, and we look forward to seeing this partnership with Microsoft lead to greater things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe built the new Windows Phone Marketplace to create new business opportunities for developers and partners alike,\u201d said Brandon Watson, director for Windows Phone at Microsoft. \u201cThis collaboration with LG creates a win-win situation for consumers and developers and will further showcase the variety of quality games and applications available on Windows Phone 7.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, LG will also be offering its Windows Phone 7 customers free access to even more applications developed directly by the company. These applications will also be available from the LG Application Store and will span social networking services, such as Type n Walk<\/em> and Voice SNS<\/em>, as well as practical tools like Subway<\/em> AR.<\/em><\/p>\n

LG and Microsoft\u2019s developer program will kick off in November. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com\/LGMobileHQ<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
