Picks and tips
Windows Weekly tip of the week: Students can buy a new PC ($699 and up) and get a free Xbox 360. Nothing like getting in the Back to School spirit in May
Windows 7 app pick: Windows Phone "Mango" Beta Developer Tools
Windows Phone 7 app pick: Picasa Metro. A nice WP-based solution for interfacing with Google Picasa. Provides online album viewing of course, but also light photo editing (including captions), photo uploading (including bulk upload), online photo and album management, an album map view that utilizes Bing Maps, and "Share" capabilities from within the Pictures hub. It's $1.29 but there's a trial available too.
Mobile app pick: Plex
