@Ian2: there used to be... but we remove the 'avatar type' concept in this release... some of us are grandfathered in though...

You can reference this comment though, I'm willing to state that we will add it back

Hey, please check out Easy Timer. This one is awsome for me because it actually worked. It has both StopWatch and Countdown, which are two simple time based tools missing from WP7. It still ring after screenlock for countdown, which other one didn't work.

Laura,
Thanks for the Word Tangle plug. I was watching your vids on the xbox and took a break from the xbox the week before this vid, argg! I'm so late when it comes to news. :) Thanks again, keep up the great work.
