    Marketplace & Mango

    With the recent release of the Windows Phone 7.5 update, code named Mango, Microsoft also released the Windows Phone Marketplace (http://www.windowsphone.com/marketplace).

The official WP7 marketplace provides all of the same information that was previously available only from Zune or WP7 marketplace app, and really makes the experience of looking for interesting apps much more useful.…

    Although I haven’t actually played any Blizzard games for some time now, I do occasionally check the forums to see what’s going on in Azeroth. Having tried to do this in the Windows Phone browser made me wonder why no one has made any client apps to read Blizzard forums–the task isn’t impossibly difficult and a lot of people read the forums on a daily basis.…
