Just a tiny feature added but a great one. If your app list is getting very long (much like mine) Mango makes launching the app you're actually looking for so much easier. Once you get over 45 apps, the app list to the right of your home page will actually get the little letter headers like in the people hub. You know that thing where you tap a letter, it shows you the alphabet, you choose "s" and suddenly you're looking at Sam, Sandy, Sarah, Sue, etc? So launching BloghuB I just need hit the B and bingo bango bongo its there!
Also they're adding a search feature so if I have an exorbitantly high number of apps and don't want to have to scroll through my WHOLE "b" section I need only type the first few letters of the app I'm after and, guess what...
..
.
no really guess...
Yes! You're right! It shows you the app you're after and you can tap to launch! You know, just like the iPhones spotlight search, or vista/windows 7's "Start Bar". Who cares who had it first all that matters is we have it now.. Erm.. Will have it in September? October? Whenever this damned update actually goes live. Man do I want that to be tommorow...

App Review: RemoteSuite
Found another great app for you folks out there in the IT crowd! It's called "RemoteSuite: Ultimate" and it is an RDP client / file sharing / PowerPoint controlling beast.
I have used this app a LOT since finding it and it is now firmly pinned amongst the top few tiles on by home screen. Set up is a snap all you need to do is download the app for your phone and a paired program for any computers you want to connect it with (yes you can save multiple computers) and then set up port forwarding for your router, also don't worry you can choose any port you want so don't think this thing is a huge metasploit issue.
Once all that is done you're free to have at. Use your phone as a mouse, grab some files from one computer and upload it to another, use it to restart your private Minecraft server if you want! This app can do it all including connect to a power term window.
Not bad for for the price of a single Starbucks coffee!

App Review: Lazytube
I am greatly sorry dear readers! I just now realized that as of yet I hadn't even so much as mentioned the name of an app that I use close to twenty times a day! Lazytube!!
Lazytube is a YouTube client with a huge plethora of options available to it all for about a buck. The app is laid out in your typical hub style with Search, Featured, Favorites, Subscriptions, Most Viewed, Top Rated, Recently Played and Lazylist sections. The first seven are pretty standard so I won't get too much into them I'm sure you can figure out what they do however the last one, Lazylist, is quite neat. Basically Lazylist is like a combination of Stumble Upon (Google this NOW if you've not heard of stumble upon) and a friend who knows what you like. After looking at a few videos Lazytube will compile a list of videos that are similar to the videos you search for the most. Nine times out of ten they're worth looking at but every program has glitches, I like cats and electronics but I don't want to see a cat get stuck in a washing machine.
Apart from all these features it actually does the basics REALLY well including support for HD streaming even on 3G and lets you log into your normal YouTube account for everything else.
The only things it can't do that I wish it could was check YouTube messages, play audio back through A2DP, and share things to Facebook.
If you like watching video clips of random things or are subscribed to someone like Philip DeFranco on YouTube (check him out he's hilarious) this app is for you!

App Review: Project Emporia
Ever get tired of scrolling through Google news for something you actually care about? Have a few different topics you like to stay informed on but really don't care what Charlie Sheen is up to? Have I ever got an app for you! It's called, "Project Emporia" and its a news reader app for Windows Phone 7.
Emporia lets you save a couple different (or if you're like me a lot of) topics then feeds you any news or interesting tidbits of info including blog posts that pertain to said topic.
Find an article you really like and emporia has a couple things you can do with it. First off you can save it so no matter how long ago you read it it's on your phone for you to show your friends, your coworkers, your dog or the waitress at that club you like. Also if you have a twitter account you can tweet about it right from the app! Living in the dark ages and don't have a twitter account? No worries! So long as you gave an email account synched with your phone (you've done THAT right?) you can email a link to the article to someone you know... Or don't know and can guess at an email address.
All in all its pretty snazzy and seems really polished. The only real thing I see it missing is the option to share via Facebook. That would be swell.
Go get it!

App Review: BloghuB
Hey there! I figured for my first official app review what better app then then the one I'll be using from now on for all my blogging on the go, BloghuB!
Despite only having played with this app for a short while I feel myself falling in love! It has a few glaring issues like no autosave (so if I back out to main menu to respond to a text or someone calls me I lose the whole post... Which by the way sucks this is the third time trying to post this) but has plenty of great features.
Lets start with formatting. This app gives you all the basics, bold, underline and italicize work as expected even with multiple options on at once. It has plenty of choices for font size from big to littleand lets you change bothfontcolor and highlightcolor.
You can align left
It has a dedicated link button and you can snap a photo and add it right from the app... but apparently it doesn't work.... At least with blogger...
If you blog a lot or even a little grab this one!
