Microsoft is expanding its Windows Marketplace to as many platforms as it can. The service was originally just available for Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphones, but then the company opened it up to PC users last week. Now you can access it on Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 handsets too.

Microsoft has set up a web URL (http://mp.windowsphone.com/) that you can visit with your mobile browser to download the Marketplace application. It should work on just about any phone with Windows Mobile version 6.0 or above now. Enjoy!
