UPDATE 11/13/09 8:30am CST: As of this morning, the mobile Marketplace client is pushing out an update. If you go into Marketplace, you’ll be prompted to install an update before you can use it. After installing it, everything looks the same. The older “hacked” version that allows you to install to a storage card probably no longer works unless someone updates it. The new version is 1.1.1109.0000 with no changelog that we can see.
UPDATE 11/12/09 4:00pm CST: It appears as though Chainfire from XDA has cracked the new “advanced copy protection” today. As he said, this actually took him a couple of hours compared to the 5 minutes it took him last time. You can read his thread here. He said he will not release the “hack” either.
Phase II of the Windows Mobile Marketplace has just hit the public, giving you the ability to buy apps from your desktop (with its new desktop browser version) and install them to your phone later.
In addition, Microsoft has updated the anti-piracy measures it had (or didn’t have) in place, which was cracked within a few hours of the Marketplace release. You can read more about their new measures here. The end-user won’t really see any differences, but the developers are sure to like this new protection for their paid apps.
Microsoft also announced that they will be releasing a client for WM6 and WM6.1 later this month.
