Lumia Beta Apps (earlier ''Nokia Beta Labs'') was a UserVoice based website in which beta applications for Microsoft Lumia devices were available for public download. After the sale of the Nokia mobile devices division to Microsoft〔http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-closes-nokia-acquisition-2014-4〕 and after the announcement of the CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella to concentrate all its efforts on Windows Phone,〔http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/17/5912289/microsoft-kills-feature-phones-in-favor-of-windows-phone〕 the 14 August 2014 it was announced the relocation of the Nokia Beta Labs website to a new site that host all new beta trials for Lumia apps.〔https://betalabs.nokia.com/blog/2014/08/14/Beta-trials-for-Lumia-apps-to-continue-at-new-site〕 On September 11, 2015 Microsoft announced that they would no longer accept any feedback via the Lumia Beta Apps site and would archive all older feedback and encouraged users to send feedback via the Windows Insider feedback application or through the Windows Phone Store, despite the discontinuation of the website no Lumia Beta App would be immediately removed from the store. == Overview == The applications provided by Beta Apps are in development, but are considered "mature" enough to be released in order to be tested by users worldwide. Anyone can submit feedback about applications, which goes to the development team. After a period of time, an application either "graduated", meaning it is released as a final version, or is removed from the site and placed in an archive. The site facilitates beta applications being developed by Microsoft or select 3rd party developers for Lumia products. The applications are, of reasonably good quality, but may have rough edges and occasional service breaks, not commercialized yet, not guaranteed, and not officially supported, under active development, free of charge and not be used for commercial purposes Applications may ''graduate'' to become commercial offerings, or they will be ''archived'' along with the lessons learnt based on user feedback. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lumia Beta Apps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
