Similar to Google's Android Market and RIM's BlackBerry App World, the Mango edition of the online marketplace will sell and download games from the Web site to the Windows phone.
Details are sparse on the blog post where CNET discovered the news, though more news on the "Mango Marketplace" will be coming, assured Matt Bencke, general manager for the Windows Phone Developer and Marketplace Experiences, in his message to developers.
In addition, Microsoft will announce the date that developers can start submitting Mango apps for certification in the upcoming weeks.
