We informed you about the Windows Mobile Marketplace giving chance to the devs to display their expertise. Now the latest ride in the Marketplace World was taken at a petty MS dev camp where the team declared its intentions NOT to sell their apps at a price tag below $0.99. The folks at MS feels that their devs deserve much more.

Loke Uei of the Microsoft’s Mobile Developer Experience Team even went on to say:  “It’s up to you play your pricing, but we would definitely want to promote that you make more money selling applications than selling your application in a dollar store.”

The winners in the Race to Market Challenge have quite interesting offers, so a tough battle here. Anyway, the price should match its utility after all. Let’s wait for the  final showcase.

With speech recognition now supported in IM+, you can now send messages (as text) to your IM friends without even touching the keyboard at all!

IM+ with speech recognition will allow users to dictate their instant messages and send them as text to their contacts in Facebook®, AIM®/iChat, MSN®/Windows Live™ Messenger, Yahoo!®, ICQ®, Jabber®, Google Talk™ and MySpaceIM. Recent studies indicate that over 70% of consumers prefer using voice to interact with their mobile devices rather than typing. Speech-enablement increases message creation speed and greatly improves the usability of instant messaging on mobile devices.

“Recent announcements on speech-enabled mobile applications by Google and Microsoft demonstrate that consumers readily embrace voice as input for their mobile applications and progressive vendors are ready to respond,” said Felix Gofman, VP of worldwide business development for Yap. “We are thrilled to be working with innovative companies like SHAPE Services to speech-enable mobile messaging applications, because we know that fast, highly accurate speech recognition technology is the best way to deliver a premier user experience and a better way of interacting with mobile devices.”

However, its high price tag of $39.95 is surely going to turn off a lot of users.
