Direct link to Audible Windows Phone App for non-US users

UPDATE 06/25: Looks like the Audible app is showing up in more and more non-US markets.

UPDATE 06/22 @ 4.40 pm CEST: It seems the direct link isn’t working for UK users for the time being. From what I know it does work from Belgium. Anywhere else?

YES! It’s finally here, with great fanfare – the Windows Phone Audible app. BUT, it’s not showing up in certain non-US WP Marketplaces, and the link the Windows Blog is providing doesn’t seem to be working.. Fortunately, Audible has e-mailed some of its customers a direct link into the Windows Phone Marketplace (on the phone) that does work (just be sure to open it from your phone):

• Audible App on Windows Phone Marketplace

Been waiting for this for 2 years. The Windows Phone platform is now complete.

Audible App for Windows Phone due in 2 weeks?

UPDATE 05/12
We’re now almost two weeks later, and still no love from Audible.com! Latest unconfirmed reports state Audible might keep us hanging for another 1-3 months (see http://forums.wpcentral.com/marketplace-apps/190732-3.htm). Like most other Audible members, I’m extremely patient and loyal toward this company, but um, seriously… I wonder what’s taking them so damn long.

Seriously doubting the Windows Phone platform now, Audible is a key app for me.

 

In my search for more information on the nascent release of the Audible App for the Windows Phone platform, I stumbled upon the following response from an official Audible rep, posted on WPCentral’s forums, stating that the release might be due in 2 weeks:

Dear Audible Listener,
