Happy to see Angry Birds finally on WP7 now i see what the fuss was about. It really is addictive. Great show as always Laura. Any way you guys can tip Comcast/Xfinity on hurrying up with a WP7 app?

Angry Birds is pretty good, but I prefer Plants v Zombies/geoDefence

Hey, have you checked out HoloPhone3D yet? It's brand new, unlike anything else on the AppStore and it's getting great preliminary reviews for a cool 3D experience only on Windows Phone 7. Check out the cool videos here: http://holophone3d.wordpress.com or search for 'holophone3d' on YouTube.

*full disclosure, I am the developer so I'm naturally biased to think it's a hot app :)

It might be bad form to reply to my own comment, but I just had to share... HoloPhone3D is now #1 downloaded Entertainment app (Paid) in 3 countries (Ireland, Italy, Belgium) and is #4 in US/UK/India! And this was literally after only 3 days of being on the marketplace. It seems like people all over are world think HoloPhone3D is a hot app! Take a look at the ratings... (http://sorokoletov.com/ztop/#Ratings/e5c31fad-7e4a-4152-bf82-458bcf049edf)
