I'll list some new ones here...

WeatherDuck - better presentation on the live tile front than weatherbug

TV SHOW - best presentation on the UI for tv show tracking, and adds live tile support

Pro Sports Scores - BEST (period) Sports score app - has a live tile that updates every 30 seconds on the score, live tile presentation is awesome has scores on jerseys

Urbandictionay and Ark Words - Both live tiles..

MyBudget - best budget app out there, includes live tile also

BringCast - best podcast app

PES 2011 - Who thought a game can be this thorough and fun!?

videos dont show up in zune, so they cant be on my phone

Supertube downloads videos, but due to developer restrictions, there is no API on saving video content to a user's media library in the same way pictures can be saved. As such, it downloads videos but cannot save them to the media library, and they don't show up in Zune. They're saved inside the app, however.

Adobe Reader

Converter (HTC)

Facebook

Level (Microsoft)

Photoshare (My own app on marketplace for sharing photos with random users around the world)

Shazam (finding songs on the go or when I'm working)

Tesco Real Food (used this a couple of times to try out new meals)

Twitter

Marketplace trackers windowsphoneapplist.com is currently tracking 15,054 apps in the U.S. Marketplace. WP7applist is tracking 14,895 applications and explains 957 of them are inactive, 39% are available for free and the average price is $1.73 per paid application. Microsoft?s Windows Phone Marketplace is growing at an impressive rate. The software giant added 3,000 applications in April alone after reaching its 12,000 milestone in late March. WP7applist says that 155 apps are updated on average each day. In the last 24 hours, 75 apps were updated and 81 were added.

Luigi Violin, who founded WP7applist, says he expects the Marketplace to reach 30,000 applications in time for its birthday in October. ?If I had to make an exact average of daily new releases, the Marketplace should hit 25K in the first days of October, but as the trend is slightly increasing I?d guess we?ll be well over 30K,? he said in an email statement to WinRumors. ?It?s still growing at a nice rate, and even at a noticeable increasing rate lately so it really looks in full shape,? he added.

If they hit 30k in Oct then I'm expecting 50k by Jan 2012. Things really should pick up once Mango and all the new APIs land.

I made a Google Reader App for WP7 called Doppelreader.

Free and Paid versions available.

You can do 99% of the things you can do in the actual Google Reader, and then some.

Some people make apps and just sell them but I actually use my own app because its very useful for any Google Reader user!

Get Doppelreader:

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
