If you have managed to get your hands on a Windows 6.5-powered device such as the HTC Pure, then chances are you have been able to sample the new Windows Marketplace.

However, early impressions of the Marketplace are not looking too positive. BGR reports that the store only contains around 34 applications, most of which are priced higher than 99¢, which is what Apple usually charge customers on the App Store.
