Installing apps from SD-card for Windows Phone

Microsoft opened a new possibility of Windows Phone, now almost all applications from the official WP Store can be installed with the SD-card! Prior to this installation XAP officially supported only on an unlocked smartphone developers, and then - with certain restrictions. Now the only limitation will be the availability of slots for SD-cards in the phone.
XAP Windows Phone 8 from SDSDCard XAP InstallThe other day on the official website of Windows Phone appeared detailed instructions for installing applications on a smartphone via SD-card. The procedure is extremely simple and does not require a release. To start copy the downloaded XAP-file on SD-card and insert it into the smartphone. Next, open the App Store on your device and see on the home screen, a new item «SD-Card" (probably, for the appearance of this item will have to wait a while, the smartphone to scan support). Select the item and see the application installer placed on the map.It would seem that fans of the "Varese" can rejoice - Microsoft opened the way for them. But here reveals several limitations. The first of them - XAP-file must be official, downloaded from the Web version of Windows Phone Store. Yes, yes, now there on the left, near the bottom, there is a paragraph on "Download and install it manually", which automatically starts downloading XAP. Another interesting point - the version that is being installed must be the same one that was published in the store, or the program will be placed in the section of "incompatibility". In addition, clearly no problem to work completely free application, a developer can pay as a way to prevent this installation. If the application has no trial period, the installation did not happen.Who and why need a way to install applications? Perhaps it is for those who have mobile internet too expensive, and free Wi-Fi not around, while in the presence of a stationary computer with access to the internet. Likewise installed and enterprise software, but it will still have to sign for Microsoft.By the way, in the screenshots above our Asian colleagues demonstrated WPDang even install applications on Windows Phone 8S from HTC, WP8-first smartphone with support for SD-cards, which will go on sale in Russia.
