Windows Phone 7 Market is Microsoft’s online store for downloading apps, games, music, TV shows, movies, podcasts—in other words, anything that makes your Windows Phone 7 more fun and useful. In this article, you’ll learn how to find and buy great Windows Phone 7 apps and entertainment on the Marketplace. I will also cover the Games center. With its strong Xbox pedigree, Windows Phone 7 is fast becoming an incredible gaming machine.
You will find Marketplace both on your phone and on your PC. Think of the PC version as the main store – it has everything Microsoft has to offer. The Marketplace hub on your phone is a branch. It only deals with apps, games and music. But the center has the advantage of convenience, since you can buy directly from your phone. By the way, not everything on the Marketplace costs money. Many apps and games are free. Some paid apps on the Marketplace also allow you to try before you buy.
Speaking of gaming, Windows Phone is the first mobile device to integrate Xbox LIVE, Microsoft’s hugely popular online gaming service with more than 20 million subscribers. If you’re one of them, you’ll have access to your avatar, gamerscore, and other familiar Xbox stuff right on your phone. Let the fun begin!
Touring the center of the market
The Marketplace hub is one of the default tiles on your home screen. The hub is divided into several areas, including a list of featured apps and a main menu. In the menu, you can choose from Applications, Games, Music or any custom category added by your mobile operator. This screen also shows the status of items you’re downloading and whether there are software updates available for apps already on your phone. Applications-short for Applications-are the add-on software programs that give smartphones their intelligence. Because Windows Phone 7 is the new kid on the block, only time will tell how many you’ll find on the Marketplace. But the first signs look promising. The Marketplace is expected to have 16 app categories, including Books, Business, Entertainment, Finance, Gaming, Health & Fitness, Lifestyle, Music & Video, Navigation, News & Weather, Photos, Productivity, Social, Sports, tools and travel
Bail
You need a Windows Live ID to use Marketplace. If you don’t already have a Windows Live ID, you’ll be prompted to create or register one the first time you try to download an app.
