WP7 Marketplace Apps Easily Cracked!

Microsoft’s DRM for Windows Phone 7 Marketplace Apps apparently has a few holes they need to address.

Recently a white hat hacker successfully made an app that can get into the Marketplace, find any app (paid or free), remove its DRM, and either directly install it to the phone, or save the XAP file. And he did it by himself in just 6 hours!

Windows Phone 7 Top 10 Apps in HUGE App Store!!!

So here we are at the end of a year, Microsoft has released their new flagship OS, Windows Phone 7…Love it or Hate it – you have to agree it is a fresh start.
