Introducing Windows Marketplace

If you didnt know, today starts CTIA Wireless Show in Las Vegas. Probably there will be announced some cool cell phones there. I say probably for 2 reasons :

RIM (Research In Motion) , Google, Microsoft and Nokia announced their own version of the AppStore. We just have to wait and see.
