Thanks for the great find! Sadly, it doesn't seem to have the Genesis ad I most want to see. Not sure about other markets, but I know it ran in heavy rotation in Canada. It was the Genesis' launch ad, and had a bunch of kids sitting in a dark, gloomy chamber of some sort when the sky/ceiling opens up and "brings… Read more

No Transformers toys? Are Convoy and co. not that popular in Japan amidst the sea of other robot-themed options? Read more

Was "The Babysitter" the one that was set in the Halo Wars continuity? As in, it was on Harvest during the fighting there? Read more

You know, I honestly have no idea. It's a different platform from Windows Mobile, rebuilt from the ground up. I'm not a smartphone power user, I have no interest in "rolling my own". :) Read more

The Windows Phone Marketplace has grown far faster than any other platform from launch, as it's already nearing the 30K app total.
