Windows Marketplace for Mobile was a digital distribution service by Microsoft for its Windows Mobile platform that allowed users to browse and download applications that had been developed by third parties. The app store began operation on 6 October 2009, featuring an initial 246 applications.[1] It was available for Windows Mobile 6.x (i.e. 6.5, 6.1 and 6.0) devices, which includes smartphones and personal digital assistants.
Microsoft's next generation mobile platform named Windows Phone, which was released in 2010, has a separate app store called Windows Phone Store; WM6.x apps are not compatible with WP7. Marketplace for Mobile was shut down on May 22, 2012.[2]
