Post by: recursivelyenumerable on March 16, 2010, 02:54:47 AM

something about it appeals to me even though the metro interface guidelines are a kinda lulzy read.  but nothing really comes to mind except the obligatory futzing around with analog softsynths of course.  anyone else?  jinfash?

I'm all for it.  Windows needs more buggy programs.

Dating advice?

Twooter, a service where you can send 139 character messages to your friends. You'll save money on bandwith by not having to send that last character!

No, but that's a good app idea! Drooter, it Twoots your friends drunk messages! Make sure Twooter has an API (Call it a TwootPI to maxmaize brand potential)

Create an app that has your phone do battle with other phones in your area. It would be like pokemon.

It detects anything with bluetooth enabled, pulls the identification information, assigns it stats from that, and they do battle.  You can level your phone up which makes it stronger (phones without this app would have to be leveled to match your phone to make it fair and more fun).  You keep a record of what phone models you have won/lost against.

I like that idea.  We could later extend it to other forms of poetry.

I will have more to say about WP7 when the dev environment finishes installing itself.  So around April 2047 or so.
