Editor's Notes
Key delivery point: Our market execution and reach is delivering results: growth in customers, developers, and apps. In partnership with OEMs, mobile operators and developers, we are building a healthy 3rd mobile ecosystem that is delivering real gains for partners.
Note: these numbers are the combined Windows and Windows Phone Stores.
The top row are absolute numbers showing momentum in apps, users, developers and Store sales via mobile operator billing. The second row shows percentage growth over a year ago April. The bottom row is selected, specific proof points for each of the columns, including a list of recent apps launched.
MO billing is called out because of its importance to both our developers and customers, by expanding payment options, particularly in parts of the world where credit card penetration is low. Developers make 3x more revenue on paid apps in MO billing-enabled developed markets, and up to 8x in key emerging markets such as Mexico. We’ve enabled MO billing in 36 markets to date.
Top New Apps featured: Star Wars: Tiny Death Star, Frozen Free Fall, Kincectimals Unleashed, Beats Music, Facebook Messenger, eHarmony, Bad Piggies, CNET, Alaska Airlines, Spider-Man 2
6x faster than the overall smartphone market.
Largest YoY gain among leading operating systems - 133%
Established Windows Phone as the third ecosystem – beaten out BlackBerry
Q1 2013 - shipped more than BlackBerry in 31 markets
Sold more than iPhone in 10 markets
50K daily BTW it is TOP 10 US iPhone, or even Top 1 US iPad.

We’ve experienced our highest growth on the Windows Phone platform. Developing or porting an app to Windows will allow developers to expand their user base and reach millions of additional customers worldwide. By leveraging new features like the universal platform, it’s easy to develop once and publish across Windows.
