Apps
But how are the apps you ask? @BrandonWatson is the man in charge of applications on the WP7 interface, and he was recently touting on an episode of This Week in Tech that they have some 30,000 apps and that their goal was to obtain a large percentage of the "big apps" on iOS and Android. So yes, there is a Twitter app and an Angry Birds app. What is truly interesting about WP7 though is that there is not really a huge need for all the social apps, because the integration of Facebook (and Twitter and Foursquare with "Mango") negates the necessity to launch a separate app to keep track of a particular social network. While that potentially takes revenue away from the social network (since it does not register the user the same way) it does make the phone much more integrated and much more of a joy to use.
