Windows Marketplace trickles down to WinMo 6.0 and 6.1

Now that the 6.5 fat cats like the Imagio and Pure have had their fun for a few weeks, it's high time that the love start to trickle down to older upgrade-less devices, and as promised, Microsoft's now obliging with a Windows Marketplace download that'll work on phones running Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1. As far as we can tell, there aren't any material differences in this version, and Microsoft is quick to remind everyone that you don't need the download if you're running 6.5 -- so while you patiently wait for an upgrade, owners, you may as well get a taste for the good stuff now.

[Thanks, Chris]

It sure would be nice if we got a couple links, as I can't seem to find the downloads anywhere from my mobile device or from my standard PC.

Can you beleive it? You NEED to input your mobile number so Microsoft can text message you the link! I have a data plan - no text messages - my company blocks them. Why not provide a direct link? Go ahead Microsoft. Start creating those barriers to ease of use!
