It's basically what you can expect... looks quite similar to the Zune Marketplace, yet has it's "Phone" differences.

I like how it seems to be tied to the Zune/Box account-system, so it's basically shared content between the two platforms, if it'll be relevant (Mostly thinking games here, as Zune isn't available in Europe *grr*).

It's a long business orientated talk, but I think it it's worth a watch for anyone who's interested in making money on their applications.

The part about we get five free applications on the market per year is also pretty good solution to counter criticism against not being able to distribute applications outside the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Zune will be available in Europe and many other parts of the world before WP7 launches. I expect Zune to go worldwide in September.

Got a source?

But it sounds damn nice. I'm already in love with the Zune Desktop Player, and wouldn't mind paying for access to their media-collection, specially because current alternatives in Denmark quite terrible.

I know Loke mentioned it in that session. It's been mentioned in lots of places though. Although it's important to note that movie/music subscription/purchase details and availability will vary by country because of the copyright restrictions and various laws in various countries.
