Windows Phone Marketplace marches to 8,000 apps

Here we are again. We'll keep it short and sweet as this is getting redundant. (We hit 7,000 on January 27th)
But right before Mobile World Congress kicks off next week in Barcelona, the Windows Phone Marketplace rampaged past 8,000 this morning. We say rampaged because for two days this week, the Marketplace came to a stand still (fixin's behind the scenes?) before a torrent of apps were then published. And if you just scroll through the last few pages, you'll see we've been getting quite the offerings...
Combined with the Nokia news and Windows Phone seems to be having a great day so far...
