[![Windows Phone Marketplace now has 100,000 published apps, counts Words with Friends and Draw Something among 'em][1] ][2]

It's not quite [App Store][3] numbers, but the Windows Phone Marketplace has finally managed to break the six-digit published apps barrier (making good on the promise of all those [app submissions][4]) as Microsoft just announced that its mobile users now have over 100,000 apps to choose from. And, while it may not be as big a deal as [multi-core proccessor support][5], a new [Start screen][6], or [turn-by-turn navigation][7], Microsoft just told of two more apps that'll be popping up in the Marketplace soon. That's right, a duo of Zynga's most popular titles, _Words with Friends_ and _Draw Something_, are coming to Windows Phone. Congratulations, all you Microsoft mobile aficionados, your time-wasting can now reach levels previously seen only by your iOS and Android-toting friends.
