Windows Phone 7 Auto-App Update Feature: Welcome to the 21st Century!
Like some other long time Windows CE/Windows Mobile device users, I’m not exactly thrilled by the idea that Windows Phone 7 apps are only available through Microsoft’s Windows Phone Marketplace. That said, I’m happy to see that app update notifications are automatic and that updating apps is simple to do.
A number appears in the Marketplace icon on the Windows Phone 7 home screen (assuming you leave it there) when app updates are available. You can see that 4 app updates were available when I snapped a photo of the screen segment shown here.
Tapping the Marketplace icon takes you directly to the app updates page when updates are available.
