Windows Phone Marketplace Kini Buka di Indonesia dan Empat Negara Lain

Microsoft telah melebarkan jangkuan Windows Phone Marketplace ke lima negara tambahan terhitung hari ini, sebelum peluncuran Nokia Lumia pada tanggal 17 Februari yang akan datang. Kelima negara tersebut adalah Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, Filipina dan Argentina. Bulan lalu, Microsoft menambahkan enam negara ke App Hub agar para pengembang aplikasi dapat mendaftarkan aplikasi mereka untuk didistribusikan di negara-negara tersebut.

Di antara enam negara yang diperkenalkan ke App Hub, Cina menjadi negara satu-satunya yang tidak termasuk dalam ekspansi ini namun para pengembang tetap diperkenankan untuk mendaftarkan aplikasi mereka. Apa yang menghambat penambahan Cina ke dalam daftar Marketplace masih belum diketahui namun dapat diperkirakan bahwa Microsoft masih menangani keperluan legalitas agar dapat mendistribusikan aplikasi pengembang ke konsumen Cina.

Windows Phone Marketplace Expands to Indonesia and Four Other Countries

Ahead of the public launch of Lumia in Indonesia on February 17, Microsoft’s Windows Phone Marketplace has expanded to five additional countries including Indonesia as of today. Just last month, the Redmond giant added six countries to the App Hub so developers could prepare their apps for distribution in those countries. The five countries are Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, The Philippines, and Argentina, bringing the number of Marketplace availability to 40 countries.

Among the six countries recently introduced to the App Hub, China is the only one not included in this expansion but developers are still welcomed to submit their applications. What is holding back China is unclear although one could speculate that Microsoft may still be working on the legalities and paperworks in order to allow developers to make their apps available to Chinese consumers.

Apakah Tiket.com Tetap Diluncurkan Hari Ini?

Beberapa hari lalu kami menuliskan bahwa Tiket.com akan meluncurkan layanan mereka pada 18 November, tanggal peluncuran ini berdasarkan posting blog oleh COO Tiket.com, Natali Ardianto. Hari ini adalah hari peluncurannya tapi tampaknya tidak ada tanda-tanda layanan Tiket akan hadir dalam waktu dekat. Ketika Anda mengunjungi situs ini, Anda akan disambut oleh kegiatan promo yang sudah berjalan selama seminggu terakhir.

Tentu saja, ini baru jam 10 pagi dan masih ada sekitar 14 jam untuk tetap menepati tanggal peluncuran pada 18 November, tapi saya mendengar rumor yang mengatakan bahwa ada masalah eksternal yang menjadi hambatan Tiket.com untuk diluncurkan hari ini, yang berarti kecuali masalah yang ada bisa terpecahkan sebelum hari ini berakhir, Anda tetap harus membeli tiket bioskop secara tradisional.

Saat artikel ini dituliskan, perwakilan dari Tiket belum memberikan komentar atas kontak yang kami lakukan.

Is Tiket Still Going Ahead With the Launch Today?

Several days ago we reported that Tiket.com was said to be launching on November 18 based on a blog post by its head of operations, Natali Ardianto. Today is that day but apparently there’s no sign of the service going up any time soon. When you visit the site, you’ll be greeted by the promo drive that it’s been running for the past week.

Of course, it’s only been 9 hours since the day began and it still has 15 more hours to still be able to say it launched on November 18, but a little bird told me that there’s an external issue that is preventing the service from going public today, which means unless it gets solved before the end of the day, you’ll have to get your movie tickets the traditional way for now.

At publishing time, company representatives have yet to respond to our contacts.
