The Windows phone market will quickly become its own Web site, Microsoft said on its Windows phone blog. Much like market.android.com, version of website of Google Android Market, the Web version of the market will search for and discover games & apps from a PC. Connecting the app to your Windows phone account you will buy applications and make them instantly sent to your device, or share links to Web-based applications. The Web market will debut with Windows phone Mango later this year.
Microsoft explains how it works: purchases are charged to the credit card already bound to existing Windows Live ID for clients if they prefer, the client can also choose to assign a new credit card."? Applications will be automatically downloaded on-line in the client's Windows phone, or can be optionally installed later. Market Web will also be able to retain the client download history to make it easier to reinstall apps (changing phones, for example). Finally with Parental controls, parents can determine which apps their kids access based on ratings or prevent download paid apps. ?
Now if only Apple would dismantle its app iTunes store shop we'd be golden. Windows phone mango will launch later this year, probably between September and November, according to recent statements by Microsoft.
