Last week, we wrote about the news that Microsoft’s app store, Windows Marketplace for Mobile, will also support existing Windows Mobile phones. Today, some interesting rumors came out based on a Microsoft trademark application. The trademark is called OneApp and refers to an app store that goes beyond mobile phones:

Online retail store services facilitating the download of computer software for use on mobile phones, media players and other portable electronic devices.

Computer software for allowing mobile device users to send messages, make payments and access and play music, games and videos on mobile devices (via istartedsomething)

This is not the first time this comes up. Last May, we wrote about the possibility that Microsoft would launch one store for both its phones and media players. The Zune HD, the first device that could get access to OneApp, is said to be launching this September. We will keep you posted as more news comes out.
