Microsoft has confirmed today that the Windows Phone 7 platform has reached its next milestone, 5000 applications. In just two months since launch, WP7 has matched the total number of apps written for the WebOS operating system, which launched in June 2009.
An even better comparison may be that of the BlackBerry App World, which has 15,000 apps.
The news seems to bode well for WP7, which has had developers express concern over the facility of writing for the mobile OS.
Microsoft noted earlier this month that they had shipped 1.5 million WP7 smartphones, but it is unclear how many of those have been sold to end users.
The Apple iOS app store has 300,000 apps and the Android Market has 100,000.
