Windows Mobile (6.5 / WinMo 6.5) Marketplace Launched !

Seems M$ Windows Mobile Marketplace has been launched partly, although not available fully.

I thought I’ll check in MSDN blogs, and got some links which led me to a nice Silverlight based Windows Mobile Marketplace site.

Also, in US, only 2 devices will be available with WinMo 6.5 loaded tomorrow morning.

Also, only the US site is in Silverlight with comparison, other country sites are just web-pages, not with Silverlight.

And about other M$ features comes with any WinMo 6.5 are here.

Here are few snapshots of them and I’ve created even my first Custom Theme and downloaded to my laptop, yes, it’s running Win 7. Atleast for this we should try WinMo 6.5.

My Phone is not yet up, but check back on 6th Oct 09;

Windows Live for Windows Mobile;

Active Sync;

Insider, to get more news about Windows Mobile apps, products, etc;

Few apps on Software & Services;

Netflix, Fusion (voicemail s/w), NewsBreak Lite, Facebook, Photo Contacts 4.0 (still this is not yet avl. in iPhone without jailbreaking), Viigo (socio utility), Kinoma (mobile media player), Windows Live for mobile, Bing for mobile, etc.

Also, like Zune HD, some crap games, so not worth to mention here.

Custom Theme creation screenshots;

Select your background, select the color scheme / choose your own color;

Downloading custom theme to my laptop;

It’s 1.79 MB, a CAB file, I can’t install as I dont’ have a WinMo 6.5 device yet. If someone can tell me how to install it in my iPhone 3G, that would be awesome.

BTW, you can send the custom theme to your mobile too.

 

i think pretty much most of the stuff are available, i couldn’t test rest except custom theme, cos, I don’t have a WinMo 6.5 yet. Planning to go for HTC Pure with AT&T. Let’s see tomorrow for more news.
