Android market URLs

For my new released application I use the following url to get it on the Android market

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.kamosoft.happycontacts

From my Android device, when I click on this url, I'm well forwarded to the Market application , on my application page, that's work fine.

But from a PC with a standard browser, I got 404 Error not found ! Why ?

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance
