Windows Marketplace has officially stepped into its next stage of development. There’s a new desktop client now and you can buy apps directly from your PC and later install them on your Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone.

Marketplace support for devices based on WinMo 6.1 and 6.0 is expected later this month.

Starting today you can buy application from the  Windows Mobile Marketplace through your desktop computer. When you buy yourself some apps on the desktop computer, they will be downloaded automatically to your smartphone as soon as you open the mobile Marketplace client.
