Given the utterly broken state of many current Windows Phone Twitter apps – I never did post about how pissed I am that applications like TouchTwit simply stopped working when Twitter turned on their new authentication system and many developers don’t care about updating their apps – it’s exciting to see new apps that will support Twitter in a slick, easy to use way.

We’re just days a way from launch, and apps are starting to sprout. Indie developer PlayMatter are previewing their first game for WP7, which should be in the app store on the word go. Bob the Burglar is a sliding puzzle game, which should be good for a few minutes (or more!) of casual gaming on the go. No word on pricing as yet, but we’ll probably find out next week.
“While the ubiquitous “tip calculator” is there, the biggy appears to be a Google Voice app called ‘GoVoice’. We’re not sure if this a call-back method or one that auto-dials/logs in your Google account, but either way it’s a good sign some of us will be able to continue using our Google Voice number when we get our new phone.”

If you are currently a smartphone owner, or planning to become one, you will, well, spend a lot of time looking for and trying out apps. The image above illustrates the Marketplace hub on Windows Phone 7. Now, while the apps in this hub image are not too exciting, WMExperts has a very interesting screen shot of a portion of the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace where future owners will be able to download their apps. Tucked in the screen shot is an icon for a Google Voice app called “GoVoice”. I wonder what that might do? How much functionality will that app have? This could be one of the first apps you want to download and try out. Hit the Read link to head on over to WMExperts and see the screen shot first hand.

Well colour me disappointed. There’s all kinds of buzz today centered around the Palm Software Store now available for Windows Mobile and Palm OS devices but hopefuls should be ready for a let-down. Turns out that this app store is just a 28KB file that adds an icon to your phone that serves up a hyperlink to the online Palm Software Store (powered by PocketGear) when clicked. It’s no different, really, than the Sprint Store or the AT&T Mall software links that have been on WinMo devices for years now. Boo!
WinMo, where’s my super awesome app store? I’m waiting.

Spb Mobile Shell 2.0
ClintonFitch.com, a Microsoft MVP in Mobile Device, has posted its Top 10 Windows Mobile Apps picks for 2008. I would say that I would agree with almost half of them – and would certainly agree that Spb Mobile Shell 2.0 deserves the top spot. It’s really excellent software – if you don’t have it, get it!

Thanks to My Sony Ericsson, you can now download an unofficial web app that allows you to create your own Xperia X1 panels!
