Job Post Confirms Shared Application Marketplace Between Nokia And Microsoft

Almost two weeks back I came across a Job post from Microsoft Careers site and I missed the important part of the job post. The job post confirms the integrated marketplace experience between Nokia’s content,app marketplace and Microsoft’s. I still didn’t understand how its going to be implemented differing from the regular OEM’s marketplace experience. May be Nokia’s Ovi Music partnerships around the world transferred to Microsoft’s Zune marketplace or just wallpapers, themes,ringtones,etc from Nokia’s Ovi store to be integrated into Zune marketplace? What do you think?

Thanks to Mobile Tech World for reminding me.

Full job post after the break.
