As I had ranted before - Microsoft does not allow developers from Africa and some areas of the middle east and Asia to register as developers for WP7, this was a short sighted bummer coz it affects the platform as the assumption that those regions do not have developers is silly and gives android an upper hand (p.s. I have already started running Eclipse on my laptop, reading the professorial android application development and a cheap android tablet)
If you are thinking of a rich market for mobile/smart phone look no further than these places.
Anyway - a couple of days ago there was some movement in that front as now you can register with a third party service called Yalla Apps that will publish your apps for you and take 20% of the earnings (after Microsoft's 30%) so you get 80% of what you would normally receive. You have to pay $99 for 100 credits, each app submission costs 25 credits wether it's a free or paid app, and development device unlocking costs 50 credits per device and is accomplished using remote desktop access from Yalla Apps. Its not the best suited solution but its the best we have for now.
