Not many people were optimistic about the future of Windows Phone 7 when it was launched, and sure enough, the start to WP7’s smartphone life was shaky, to say the least. However, the interface, and the basic concept behind WP7, is so unique that it was bound to attract a lot of people. Even though it is still way behind iOS and Android in the smartphone race, the metro OS has really come of age with Mango, followed by a growing quantity of great apps added to the Marketplace regularly.Here, we will take a look at some of the best WP7 apps covered by us during the course of the previous year.
