Not revolutionary, I would do it using Paint .Net myself, but, I am gonna try it out. I always wanted a tattoo.

The apps collection is growing and there are many high quality apps.
However, when I show my phone (WP7 Samsung Focus) to people they absolutely hate the blocky main screen and it's weird collection of user choices for colors. Many of them can't figure out "Maps App" icon. When I explain that it looks like a map, they said "it is very ugly, would have never guessed it" :(.
Also touch functionality is not consistent, it is sometimes too touchy (especially when scrolling) and at other times not responsive at all. It doesn't happen on my iPhone.
So obviously there are some things to work on for Microsoft. But it is a very good start, but as with many people if chef brings half-baked potato - it gets sent back to the kitchen and if manager charges customer for half-baked potato - customer doesn't come back. So people expect next versions to be FREE and addressing existing problems.
