Windows Phone marketplace extends reach

Good news for Windows Phone developers: the Windows Phone Marketplace is now open in 22 new countries. The new countries are Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Croatia, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine, Venezuela, UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Israel, Thailand, and Vietnam.

I just checked my Windows Phone applications on the App Hub, but noticed that although the new countries are available, I had to re-publish my applications with the new countries selected. This is easy to do, so if need be, just tick the new countries you want, and submit the application again. No code changes are necessary.
