Microsoft reportedly planning major Xbox One app push this year
In addition to allowing anyone to become a developer, Microsoft is also revamping its app approval process to make sure it can deal with an expected influx of submissions. It's not entirely clear what sort of functionality Microsoft wants developers to add to Xbox One by opening up app development in this way, but the report says the new apps will be able to run in the background, meaning a music app like Spotify or Rdio can output music even when you're playing a game. There are also question marks over whether the Xbox One SDK will provide access to Kinect, or if the accessory's many cameras and microphones will be off-limits to developers.
It's expected that gamers will be able to reap the benefits of these new, more full-featured applications later this year -- the report suggests November, roughly timed with the planned update to Windows 10. The Windows 10 update will bring a whole lot more than universal apps to Xbox One, including DirectX 12 support, revamped core apps and the ability to stream games from your console to a tablet or PC.

No change in their original plans it sounds like. As long as they make it as easy as they can to get apps on it, and the other platforms at the same time, this should work out good.
They also should make it as easy as they can to use Xbox Live for games on all platforms.
