Ping rox! Thumbs up ^^ Theese eppisodes are getting better and better, nice work! ;D

Voice recognition would be awesome for Winmo7, but after my experience with Windows Voice Recognition on Windows 7 and Vista, is that it uses a lot of resources. Is the voice recognition based on newer technology as in Kinect, or the old (slow) voice recognition in Windows? But on the other side, what if Farmwille got voice recognition X_x

Woah Laura, you freaked me out a little bit there

As it happens, I am working on something for WP7, but I don't know if it'll be out for launch - it's getting close now.

btw. Talking about Farmville, have you seen the game Cow Clicker on Facebook? I think Paul would appreciate the humor in someone distilling everything about Facebook games down to: you have a cow, you can click it, then you can click it again in 6 hours.
