Windows Phone 7 has reach RTM Status

Can't wait to get my hands on a Windows Phone 7 device. The stuff I am seeing about the interface and applications being designed for it look awesome! Full Zune Integration as well as XBox Live and Facebook integration!

Read about the RTM announcement here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2010/09/01/windows-phone-7-released-to-manufacturing.aspx

Now I need AT&T and the device manufactures to get the devices out to the public!

Zune HD

My wife and daughter got me a Zune HD for my birthday. Been playing with it this weekend and loving it! First portable device to have HD Radio on it and has a great feature while listening to the radio to "tag" a song you like and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace.
The browser is good, must have wireless connectivity but in this day and age not to hard to find a hotspot. Only has about 10 apps, all free, mostly games but a calculator and MSN Weather app, all free. Hopefully the application selection approves!
The touch interface was very easy to learn and is easy to use. Another great feature is it works just fine with my car FM transmitter that the wife got me last year for my Zune 4GB! I have created a new playlist for my daughter so while we drive around she can listen to her favorite songs, mostly Pink! And now with HD Radio on the Zune HD I can get HD stations in my car without an upgrade to my car radio.
