SharePlug unavailable on Marketplace

[heresandyboy]

I am greatly interested in this product and when I received news of it this morning I rushed to the marketplace to purchase it. However after checking both the US and UK Marketplaces this product does not seem to exist. Additionally the link to Marketplace on the SharePlug homepage results in a Microsoft error page.

Where can I obtain this product, I've just spent an hour setting up an Ubuntu ssh server on our network specifically for use with this program.

SharePlug was originally released for US market only. So if you're accessing Marketplace from outside of US, you may have problems accessing the product page or placing your order.

However, Microsoft has recently updated its Marketplace and the customers can now access applications released for other regions. They are calling this new feature "World View".

BUT, it seems there are currently some glitches in their systems to properly list the applications for various regions. You should be able to find additional information about the issues and workarounds from the following forum threads:

Thanks for your reply but I'm confused, after looking into the links you provided and some of my own research it's back to you. The reason your app is unavailable to other markets is simply settings you've missed. A couple of tick boxes in your marketplace settings and problem solved: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/9007.html

We are confused too...

We already did the checkmarks you mentioned last week (all euro using markets, Canada and UK) and SharePlug should be available to those markets using the new World View by now.

Can you tell us the country you are connecting from?

We'll contact Microsoft and see if SharePlug is actually ready for your area. Also, can you tell us the Windows Mobile OS version you're using. The Marketplace software shipped with 6.5.x does not have the new "World View" option and it seems Micorsoft is planning on rolling out automatic updates in near future. If you are using 6.0 or 6.1 you need to download and install the new version.

For additional information about downloading and installing Marketplace software, please contact Microsoft directly. When contacting them, please also try mentioning the purchasing problem you're having with SharePlug (US market URL: http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/det ... 0a1f6d4562). They are the one who actually controls what software goes which markets. So they should be able to provide you with more detailed information.

Thank you again for your interest in our software!
