Link 2iN - Linked in Client

MSN Onit - US only but has some decent information

Snow+Rock Pathfinder

Yell UK

Bing Image Search - for those that want to search images. Pretty useful :p

Imgur Uploader - for quick image uploading to a generally anonymous image sharer, and quick to share photos too.

Erm.... Artist Info - for those like me that miss some of the Zune HD's more interesting little additions, like artist bios, photos and the screensaver.

This one isn't out at the moment, but I use it on my Android Handset, Kindle for WP7 looks pretty good.

Anyway I have these apps, some may be duplicating functionality I already have on the HD7 but i'm looking at which one has the best functions:

My WP7 Idea (Great App for suggesting WP7 features you want, a little sluggish but refreshes every time you load it)

Is this app removed from the marketplace? I can't find it anywhere. ? Sounds like a good idea.

Is there a Twitter client on WP7 that doesn't suck and includes Push messaging? Rowi is close to what I want out of twitter, but push alerts seem to barely work. If that.

I also can't get the onscreen keyboard to pop up when logging in to birdsong or motweets. Must be a Mango Beta 1 bug (That's all that's been ported to the HD2 from Mango.) so I can't use those.

You're right, looks like it was removed. I'm not sure why though.

I just use the Official one from Microsoft it lacks push notifications but works extremely well. Push notifications have issues on all versions of WP7 prior to Mango AFAIK.

That's odd. I would have installed that app as well. Was it a Microsoft App or a 3rd party app if you don't mind my asking. Maybe it will come back or maybe they got too much feedback... LOL

I guess it could have been an internal app for Microsoft employees to make suggestions that accidentally made its way into the public marketplace even...

Man, can I just say Mango is freaking sweet?

Bing Music is awesome, no need for Shazam anymore. Scout is pretty sweet, and deep-linking with foursquare is awesome.

I like Pro Sports Score, super shopper, weatherlive is the best weather app out there, ... lots more goodies. Shurikan Ninja is a sweet game.

Anyone have or know of an app like Shazam etc? I can't seem to get that or Bing music search in Greece, so i'm left out in the cold on that.

now that makes me raging why some apps available in some region and others aren't

Isn't Shazam available?

Nope it's not. If I open a direct link to it in the Zune Client it doesn't give me the option to download it. And just doing a normal search for it doesn't bring it up. For a bit I thought they pulled it from the marketplace. I have no clue why they don't offer it in my country.

    • 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?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
