Hi Laura, I'm a student from Argentina, with a friend we developed a few apps that we are very proud of:
-An interviewing application (the first on Marketplace), called InterViewer that use SkyDrive to store the results online.

-A revolutionary ability game, called Flip Your Phone, that give you points for each 360° flip that you make with the cellphone.

Best Regards for this year,

Ignacio Raffa

Tried out Bug Village last week and it was incredibly boring. PixelTV looks like an interesting time waster so I'll definitely check that one out.
It's be great if you could check out Better Movie Manager http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/b94972d0-208c-4641-8852-4e35ba70c600 an exlusive movie management app for WP7.

Pixel TV looks great for something so simple. It kinda like when I used to draw stuff on my old VIC-20 and Commodore 64..

There should be QR-codes in the video so I wouldn't have to look it up in Marketplace to find them there
