Just in case anyone was wondering, the Zune client has been updated to 4.7. I don't see any live download links, looks like you need to already have the Zune software installed, and it'll auto-check for updates.
Some nice changes, and the Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 is also live so you can take a look at some of the apps currently available. This just gets me real excited.
That being said, anyone wonder why the Marketplace would be open when no devices are even available. I wonder if devices will be available sooner than we think...
Update: It looks like apps keep getting added and added as time moves on. There were only a handful of apps 10 minutes ago, and now there are a bunch more.
Update 2: Download link! The FULL Zune Client 4.7 package.
Wow, good discovery. Updating now.
edit: Whats strange is a lot of the apps are already reviewed. I dont get it o.o

Well technically the phone has been in testing/use for months now, so i'm sure those reviews are all from internal testers, developers, and the lucky few who get to test out these devices.
awesome, I will be upgrading my software tonight after work There will be phones available in the US on AT&T by Nov 8 and sooner in Europe I believe.
Does anyone have any word on how the Zune software will check it's location? I have a US Zune Pass for my Zune 80 but I'm currently living in the Netherlands (the pass is run on my American bank account). To get the Zune marketplace to show on my desktop I had to set my computer location in Windows to US.
Now the big question is: will a WP7 phone just believe my american hotmail or will it do some nasty IP checks or SIM code checks? I would love to have my Zune account directly connected to my phone, so I'm guessing this will be the deal breaker for me.

Not many apps on the marketplace. How are they suddenly going to have 2000 apps (as stated) on the app store by launch date next week? Confused.
No worries, there are still testing...think about the Netflix, IMDB, Ebay, twitter apps, they are all announced and not there. I think we will see much more 21st ongoing...

Many of the apps are still going through the curation process.
Hmm, how do you see the apps? Do you have a device connected?

just go to the marketplace and click on apps.
Or if you already have the Zune Player (which I downloaded last week) Windows Update will give you the 4.7 update. I installed it last night.

Yeah, I guess that's the problem. Marketplace is visible on devices here though.

What's your country set to in windows? Maybe try changing that and reloading the zune software and see if it works?
Changing Location setting to United States worked, thanks for the great tip!
I think you need to change your computers region to a country where the marketplace is launched, e.g. UK or US.
Installed Zune Software for the first time yesterday.
I like it!
Um, I've had Zune 4.7 for a week now (or more..?).. I just clicked the update button and it did it for me.. so don't know what all the fuss is about. There was about 200 apps when I checked about 4/5 days ago, and as of last count they have 409 apps. Which certainly beats the Zune HD count of like 30 in over 1 year lol.
A few of the app's aren't displaying their picture which is annoying, but it will get there. With 4/5 days left till the launch, I'm not sure if they will get to 2000, but they most certainly are doing a decent job of going about it so far.
Some of the app's look pretty useless, and might never get used, but the xbox live games look GREAT. Can't wait to test this out in a week.
Lack of gaming apps does bother me a bit though.
EDIT: I don't know why but the Zune Software seems a bit sluggish to me now.. it can't be my computer.. its an Alienware so it's fast. Don't know why it lags at times.. it used to be speedy.
This is likely a noob question, but I couldn't find the answer.
If I get LauncherPro from the market, then it's v0.8.1.0, but it's NOT the PLUS version.
The plus version that the developer's site has is 0.6xxx.
Do I need to get that PLUS version and then upgrade to 0.8xxx? Or am I totally off base?
Thanks.
I have plus and it's 0.8.1. I had to download the app from the market, and put in a code that was emailed to me when I made my payment and that unlocked it, no further updating was needed aside from the regular maintenance updates that the dev puts out. I upgraded to plus a few months ago, so I'm not sure if the dev is handling it the same way anymore.

Cool. Thanks for the info.
Correct you just put the code in from that email to unlock the plus inside the normal app..
All I do is backup my configuration and just restore it whenever I switch ROM's etc and it will restore your code also
I am currently working on a version of my app, The Elements, specifically for the Adam and similar tablets. Currently this app is available in the Demo section or the Android Market. You should be able to transfer it to your tablet if the market is not available on your tablet. Because this will transfer straight into the finished product it does cost 2.99 (price libel to increase with introduction of Wolfram|Alpha API). For those of you who check it out, please send me your thoughts and let me know what you think I need to fix or add. Thanks.
Been doing a ton of work on this lately. Spending all my spare time on it basically. So far I've got the List section near finalization. It still has work, yes, but you can get a pretty good idea of what its going to look like when its done.
Again, please send me all comments. All are welcome.
Check it out here
Features
*All 118 Elements
*Information highlights (click on things like Atomic Weight to see what this is)
*Swipe navigation through elements
*Images of or relating to all elements
*Elements information from Wikipedia and Wolfram|Alpha
*List View is now functioning.
*Classic View is now functioning.
*Calculations, more of which if I can find I will add
*Anions and Cations
*Physical Constants
and more to come as I get it added.
Please Check Back Every Day Or So For Updates. As I Make Progress I Will Be Uploading New Images And Information And Will Be Looking For Prompt Feedback.
Thanks For The Support

I've been trying to buy the tablet version for my Advent Vega Tegra tablet running Android 2.2 but the Android market website says it is "Not available for your carrier"
It does not appear in the Android Market on the tablet, although your two phone versions appear there.
My tablet does not have a sim slot and no 3g capability and thus does not have a "carrier".
Do you have any ideas how I can purchase your app?
If it's of any relevance I'm in the UK.

My apologies. I have not been able to get all the countries information entered yet into the market. I will work on that later and you should be able to get it by tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just so you know I expect this to be comparable to the iPad app but this is NOT the same. Nor am I affiliated to the creator of the iPad app. I do realize that they have the same name. I have not looked at whose came first nor am I sure that it matters seeing as I am on a different platform. Just want to clear that up. I intend to make it a great experience though and thank you for your support. I hope that I still have it.
Now Netflix is launched in the UK, I expected to be able to download Netflix in the UK marketplace, but it doesnt appear to have been added.
Does anyone have the Netflix XAP? So I can sideload it onto my phone.

Just FYI ive tried this form the usa XAP but it just hangs after enter my details,, maybe it will come soon
Yeh, I managed to get it too. I also have the same problem, just keeps trying to log in, but nothing happens.
I've been trying the US app since the day Netflix launched, and I've not been able to log in. Eventually, if you keep the phone alive long enough, it'll give a login failed message.
Maybe they're waiting to release a Mangofied version of the app, since the current version doesn't support resuming and stuff?
Just a heads up this is in the marketplace now
This is the link to Marketplace online. You can get it from here if you can't see it on your phone yet.

Downloaded but very disappointed that it requires a log in to do anything at all.
Would have been much better if you could browse the contents and app.

You'll be disappointed much more: Netflix also requires a monthly payment
P.S. You should be kidding, correct?
I was quite impressed, would like the ability to preload for watching later though,

Netflix requires a login before the person can even use the app in contrast to HTC Watch or the new 7Digital app for example which lets you view the contents of the markets and lets you play demos.
NETFLIX cannot be compared to HTC Watch. NETFLIX > HTC Watch in terms of streaming and contents.

Netflix is always (as far as I can remember) offering a free month of service. You also may get paid for that month (via eBay, Bing etc. - google for that). So, I believe it's more than enough for adult (who has a valid cc and can legally sign for service). Of course for child or teen it's a big obstacle
I recently thought to save the incompatible device issue in play store why don't they just make a website and play store app section called test or test kitchen,this would mean people could test the app/game in order to see if it runs on their device,meaning eg.shield android tv owners and other users of certain devices and os's can see if the apps and games run or not with given compatible next to the games and apps,then all purchases that didn't work before as they can't be installed can be tested to see if they run,and refunded if they buy something that doesn't run,who votes yes to this I'm interested to see the results.:laugh: I have requested that they do this,the rep said it's a good idea and he said he would pass it on to the development team. I was hoping I can get some of you xda members here to start backing this idea and then I will present a link to this thread when and if the number of people saying yes gets high if it ever gets to say 1000 maybe then.As unlikely as it is,but it would be great for some people a large number I imagine that can't access their purchases and for those with devices unfairly showing incompatible device next to apps and purchases in play store,especially when the app can and should work with their devices.It looks like they may have added it now sort of with beta testing,that's not really what I meant though lol.This is for all users to test every app and game to try and see if it will work,and get the refund if it doesn't,it would provide a far better archive to the public.
