Starting today Microsoft is retiring the name Marketplace and renaming it the Windows Phone Store. By visiting the official Windows Phone website, the first thing you'll discover is the official site has a cleaner design and a couple new menu options. Clicking on News, for example, provides a handy summary of what notable journalists, reviewers, and bloggers are writing about Windows Phone or the latest handsets and apps.

You'll also notice the Marketplace menu option has changed to Apps & Games. One reason for this change was to ensure new customers know where to find downloads for their phone.

Those apps are nothing but junk. Where's the good ones that would show the true power of Windows Phone?

@RUY I had Nokia Lumia 800. Windows Phone Marketplace is really full of crapwares. The best apps can be found only on iPhone's platform. Android comes at the 2nd place when it comes to quality of apps.

Agreed, that's why I switched back to Android for time being. :)
