As they say “Easy come, easy go.” And it has never been truer as recently the upcoming Windows Marketplace was made available to mobile users with with modified Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMS. Users at the ppcgeeks forum report they were briefly able to access the store and download some applications. One user claims to have downloaded the Pandora radio program.

Until this event when users with the modded WinMo 6.5 ROM attempted to launch the Windows Marketplace icon nothing happened or they received a “Coming Soon” message which what it has reverted to now. It is speculated that Microsoft was perhaps testing out the store and working out the kinks. So now we have to continue to wait and see what happens next.

Microsoft has not made any official comments on the Marketplace’s brief appearance.

The Windows Marketplace is scheduled to launch with the upcoming Windows Mobile Professional 6.5 later this year and will be the newest player in the mobile phone app battle that Apple created and is currently dominating. So far there hasn’t been a lot of insight into what type of applications will be available and how it will be regulated, but it will definitely give a big boost to the value of Windows smartphones. We also imagine it will also be playing a large part in Microsoft’s long awaited “Project Pink” phone.
