Part 1 – Preview – Windows Mobile 6.5 Marketplace on HTC T-Mobile Touch Pro2

Part 1 – When Windows Mobile 6.5 debuts on October 6, 2009, there will be a Marketplace that works similar in concept as the Android Market.

Update: Here’s a link to Microsoft’s Markeplace website:

Fact is, Android Market is a HUGE success. So much so that RIM, Palm and Microsoft have to come out with their own versions of it, so they will be left in the dust.

Those of you who have used the G1’s Android Market know why I say this. Almost the entire fun of the G1 is being able to browse at the Android Market, download and install what sounds fun, interesting, or useful and be up and running in three minutes from when you first read the application’s description. And the price for all this, usually FREE or at the most, 99 cents to $2.00.

In this video I have WinMo 6.5 OS flashed on to my T-Mobile Touch Pro2. While the Marketplace icon is there, pressing it takes you to the MS secure site where Marketplace will be available.

In this video I show you that page and also discuss Marketplace as a concept.

I am looking forward to Marketplace since I hate Handango and anything that functions like it. This time next year I predict there will be 10,000 apps and programs on Marketplace. Woot!
