Read Later for Instapaper. It was pulled due to a bug.

Music Shark, since it was never really approved by Groove Shark. And now no longer works

I'm a bit annoyed to find they get removed from your phone... Shazam has vanished from mine

Is it not in your games hub? The new version is put there for some reason. It shouldn't be removed from your phone.

Yeah it is, Thanks for that. The Tile vanished from my homescreen and it wasn't in my list of apps I assumed it had been remotely removed.

Shipping Buddy .. they released an update that never installed and just kept being their in pending download.. so i uninstalled my 'paid' version to install it again.. and now its gone from MP.. I feel like they took my money and disappeared..

Tweetcaster by handmark.
I'm sure very few people see this app,i think it is just up on marketplace for few hours.I have it working on my mozart,it is the fastest twitter app so far,faster than birdsong motweet and rowi.Furthermore,no issue while exiting from the built in browser.
Hope it can back to the marketplace soon.

Twin Blades. The first game I bought for my Focus. Played the hell out of it. I had to hunt around to find a version of it.

They withdrawn Shazam from the marketplace, but it stills on my phone. Shazam is now consider games. lol

Shazam was probably removed for putting thier icon in XBox Live Hub...
That's a good thing IMO. Rules are not made to be broken

How much did it cost. I mean the version that isn't Ad-Infested I stopped using Ad-Ware months ago.
Birdsong has Toast and Live Tile Notifications now. Does Tweetcaster have that?

Twitter App in new WP7 Advert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwKjEJOAWxg
Pause at around 12 seconds....
The twitter app featured seems to have a live tile which tells you if you have new tweets or not. Am I missing something here? My Twitter app is nothing like that and is just a static tile with the twitter bird on it
Is it a different Twitter app? Or have they just put out an advert which features software not available to the public yet?

Oh the power of advertisement and digital media editing
Steve Ballmer said he is brining mobile Office with him on vacation, I assume being a CEO of the corporation he didn't mean he just reads them docs, he most probably meant he creates and edits them.
Did you try that on your device?

It must be the magic of television. If you look at most commercials for an Android phone or iPhone/iPad, it mentions that the screens are simulated.

Thank you for translating for the OP
Push notifications just hit the iPhone app in the last week or so, they announced at the same time that it was coming to Android and Windows Phone. So yeah, its either edited or they were using an early version of the software.

It will integrate with the OS like Facebook app, so it will come as an OS update.

New Native Youtube app by HTC

If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!
So is this a HTC only app?
I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.
not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.

The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung

The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.

I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.

Official Engadget App

about an hour ago i was skimming through the new apps in the marketplace and came upon an engadget app (not engadget reader). I went ahead and downloaded it. Right off the bat i could tell this was the official engadget app. Great metro ui integration, very smooth interface and offered podcast and videos integrated into the app. I was a little suspicious of the app and whether or not it was the official one, but it had an about page with all the copyright info from engadget. Right before typing this I searched once more for this app and it seems that it has been pulled from the marketplace as well as the engadget reader.
Did anyone else download this app before it was pulled?
It's unfortunate that it got pulled down before I could get it. I have the Engadget reader and it's lacking. I want an official Engadget app ASAP!
Good to hear about it being smooth with metro UI integration though.
I managed to get it before it disappeared.
Wonder what got it yanked?
What is it like, screenshots?
Microsoft seems to be really strict about their guidelines. They have guidelines for everything from User Interface to how long u have for the app to load/resume to distributing it on the marketplace, lol.

I believe this link should do, but it's not there for download:
http://redirect.zune.net/External/L...oneAppID=e32911a0-472d-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Link may not work in browsers other than IE. It didn't work in my version of Opera.
I got it. Settings button restarts it, might be why they pulled it so it's fixed. Give it a go and see if it's the same for you.
Ok it wasn't an offical Engadget app or they would have had an artical on it. much like all the BBC apps none are offical BBC apps. the apps that Engadget has for IOS and Android are offical. from what I was told they will be having one soon but it wasn't that app.

Yeah, it is official, but it is buggy.
App restarts whenever you hit the Settings button.
I deleted to the unofficial Engadget app for the official Engadget app.
It seems the unofficial app was pulled down too
The screenshots make it look sort of ugly compared to the Android and iOS versions of the app. For anyone who has it, what do you guys think?

I have been trying to get this app since it was discovered on the 16th. My guess is that it was released, found to be buggy, and then pulled back. One thing about the WP7 marketplace is that Microsoft actually QA's the apps during the approval process. Android, never. Apple, yes. But it is to look for anti-apple or sexy stuff(j/k).
My buddy has been trying to get his WP7 GPS app approved for quite some time now. It keeps getting rejected for various QA and functionality requirements that keeps the WP7 ecosystem efficient and functional. So props to Microsoft for being sticklers about the quality of apps released(the purpose and types of apps release is another thing).
In case people want to keep checking for the app, here's the link to Zune d/l: http://ow.ly/3ZWl0

The ATRIX 4G lagged its way to a 9/10 (or was it 9.5?) on Engadget and I believe the Galaxy S[hit] got a pretty high score as well even though its lag and GPS issues were well-known at the point of review...

Orange UK Marketplace free apps

Hey guys,
for those of you on Orange UK
check out the marketplace.
there is now an "Orange Selects" section and you can download free versions of apps such as Cocktail Flow, Touchnote, Pathfinder etc.
Sorry if this is old news.. I only noticed it last night!
Yeah saw this recently too! I like it!
Where is it?
I'm not seeing it, but I fear this is either because I'm not using an Orange SIM in mine or more likely because I uninstalled the Orange app out of the programs! Can someone be very specific about where it appears, then I can be sure? Is it supposed to be in that first list where you get HTC Apps, applications, games & music?
Humm i cant get into the orange selects section since going to mango i get an error 805a0194

I am also on mango and I get this too.
It happens to everyone on mango beta.
To get around it (to get your free apps) just go to the marketplace search and type "Orange UK" and it will give you the same list as the "Orange Selects" section.
Hope this helps.

From what I know we're getting 1 free app per day for every day in July. So each day you go in to the orange selects section one of the apps in there will be free (the price changes to £0.00 for 1 day then changes back to whatever it was originally)
Hope that helps.

When it first appeared all the apps were free.
So far from July I have got Stars 3d and Travel London.

I have the free version of that, it's really good.
I'm not missing another one.
The only problem I see is that once we downgrade back to NoDo, all the apps that we installed on Mango will be deleted (AFAIK) so we'd have to pay for these apps once the Mango Beta ends. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
8th July: Bye Bye Brain
A bit bummed cos I only just found out about this promo
That sleepmaster app just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Plug it into mains and then sleep with it in your bed? A lot of reviews citing the phone getting red-hot which seems inevitable. Not something that i'll be doing.

Hi all
I understand that the Windows Phone marketplace policy is that once you have purchased an item, you can re-download it anytime later if it has been deleted from your phone. This should include future updates to applications/games. The purchase is linked to your Windows Live ID rather than the phone.
The only problem is if the item is removed from the Marketplace after your purchase.

Xbox Live Companion App

Any idea where it is? It was supposed to be released today (well, yesterday now).
There was some kind of issue deploying the xbox live dashboard update today. Since the dashboard update and the app go hand in hand, they delayed the release of the app until they get it straightened out. It was only supposed to be a couple hours delay, but it has stretched past that now.
Been delayed for a few months. I remember it was called the fall update.
I woke up expecting the new dash update, but nothing was there.
Just got the xbox update (about 6:30PM PST).
It's still fall for the next couple of weeks.

You need to login to windows live / xbox live from a computer and accept the new EULA. Afterwards everything is working just fine again.

Companion App
Lots of information about the delayed update but no news on the Companion App. Anybody got anything on that?
I've asked both Windows Phone and Xbox on Twitter and haven't received a reply
I guess we will just have to be patient a little while longer and I will just have to add it to my wait list along with Lync.

Just got it. And I have to say, it's pretty sweet. I didn't expect it to work if the device isn't in the same network as the xbox (I have two wifi hotspots). But it does. It even works when the phone is on 3g. With just a very small delay. Good work, Microsoft.
can anyone upload the xap becuase i am in greece and this app it is not available in the marketplace??
ok I got it, but sadly the new dashboard of Xbox its nothing more tan a big marketplace
Now I got the Xbox marketplace that requires gold subscription, the Zune marketplace, and the Premium play marketplace. that's a crazy stuff man. the only free apps, are a bunch of more marketplaces themselves
It seems that every good Idea of Microsoft has to be screwed by stupid things
The app seems okay feature wise, not amazing, but keeps reconnecting every 60 seconds though :/

A lot of people are complaining about the ads, I'm not really sure I see the issue. It's kind of like going in iTunes and being upset that you see a banner for some new Lady Gaga single. I understand not wanting to see deodorant ads, but new DLC or XBLA release? I honestly see that more of providing information than annoying ads. IMO of course.
