Tales of the Jazz Age
For: Windows Phone 7
One of the things we like about the Windows Marketplace is the full length book apps. No hiding things away in e-readers, just an icon on the home screen reminding you of what you should be getting through in your downtime. We're picking F. Scott Fitzgerald's collection of jazz-thenmed short stories as an example of what can be done, as opposed to the best example of the form. A more highbrow alternative than listening to music on your daily commute.
BMI Calculator
For: Windows Phone 7
Just the kind of thing you need going into the Christmas season, this app gives a reading by inputing your height and weight. It also shows the range of values and either gives you a smug sense of satisfaction or one of abject shame.
