[slack]

Ashley has put up an article on the WinSource homepage, and i thought i would share it with all of you here in case you didn't get a chance to see it.

I am very very excited that PayPal is coming to Windows Phone, Angry Birds space is also very nice but i am definitely more excited about PayPal.

The list includes:

• PGA Tour
• ESPN
• Angry Birds Space & other Rovio titles
• EA Games titles
• Groupon
• Tripdots
• PayPal
• AOL Entertainment Hub
• Time Magazine
• Newsweek
• Box

I think I'm most excited about the possibility of NBA Jam.

Bunch of idiots.

Fragmentation and app exclusives, really? You want HTC and Samsungs users to jump to iOS or Android, because they miss the apps? Exclusives for WP as a platform is ok, but not exclusives for one WP phone!

Life is not fair, get used to it.

I said the same thing at first, but then I heard a good point. Nokia has put a lot on the line for Microsoft. They deserve to be rewarded in some way.

One thing I just thought of while reading about these apps and Nokia... I wonder if some of the bigger, in-demand developers, take Rovio for example, are holding MS hostage. IE, they know MS will pay for them to develop apps for WP... so they just simply hold out, until MS comes knocking saying they'll fork over XX amount of money if they develop their latest/greatest app for WP.

I hope that's not the case, but why not?

wonderful news...i guess windows phones are getting their respect and goodies which have been long overdue....
though it is slightly unfair that not all of them would be getting it..it still is fine

[LoganNowak]

If Nokia is paying for it, by all means, they can have the exclusive apps. I understand why a lot of people are upset about this, but Nokia is already the biggest Windows Phone OEM.
