Are Windows Phone Xbox LIVE Games Too Expensive? « Windows Phone Metro
The concept is genius. Adding Xbox LIVE integration to the revamp of Microsoft’s mobile solution makes sense on so many levels. Xbox LIVE has tons of users who love the service, so to refresh their mobile platform with this service baked in was a no-brainer for Microsoft, but are the prices on Xbox LIVE-enabled Windows Phone games too high for many users? Xbox LIVE games for Windows Phone range anywhere from being free for the game Flowerz to $6.99 for titles like The Harvest and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Ep. 1. These games are great and certainly demand a premium for their integration into Xbox LIVE, but $4.99, $5.99 and $6.99 may be a bit too steep for a title on a casual gaming platform.Zune.net

Send to WP7 takes advantage of the browser to get files on your phone
A problem with locked down operating systems like Windows phone 7 and the iPhone is how to get one’s documents from the desktop onto the device. Traditionally the clunky method is e-mail, but the browser is another window onto one’s device, as it usually also allows one to save documents. Dave Ameta from Send to WP7 fame has created an app to take advantage of this. Send to WP7 Desktop is in part a desktop and the other a cloud app, which allows one to quickly send any kind of file, including photos, videos and documents to one’s phone by uploading to a free cloud service. It also allows one to send large text clips from the desktop which could be used for SMS or email messages.LG: “Operators say there is too much Android”

LG has spoken to Pocket-Lint about the performance of their Windows Phone 7 handsets. “From an industry perspective we had a high expectation, but from a consumer point of view the visibility is less than we expected,” said James Choi, marketing strategy and planning team director of LG Electronics global. LG is looking into explanations for this under-performance, but did not blame the OS itself.

We all enjoyed a few feminine hygiene jokes about the name and speculated about the future of tablets, not knowing how the gadget market would receive the iPad.
