Microsoft has released the Windows Marketplace for Windows Mobile devices running the 60.0 and 6.1 versions of the operating system. Handsets powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 have already Windows Marketplace preloaded. The store for free-to-download applications is open to traditional and touchscreen handsets and users will be allowed to browse and download applications from the store.

The updates to Windows Marketplace announced last week are supposed to be transferred to this version too and include the browsing, buying applications capabilities and then transferring applications form PCs to handsets, better security and protection against piracy.
