Unfortunately in this Phase 1, the store will support only Mobiles with with Windows Mobile 6.5 which will be released on the same date as Windows MarketPlace. But in November the Marketplace team hope to bring in support for Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 and till that date a PC accessible catalogue for the Apps for users to Shop, user generated reviews.

According to their blog post, they stated that they had received a large response from the developers and good feedback. Well, it slashes out Apple’s App store by stressing on Windows MarketPlace’s open, transparent and rewarding processes for the developers.
