| Fim Facebook Chat (Free) – released on 12/8/2010 |
FIM is a Facebook chat client – login to your FB account and see the list of your friends in groups: you can only see who is online or away (of course). Chat with them via FB chat – the Windows Phone 7 keyboard is a great help here! FIM runs under locked screen, this is one of the few apps we have seen in the marketplace to support this, and it is really handy: the screen will lock, we promise. Note that you need to enable this feature as it is not on by default. The chat worked fine for our tests both on Wi-Fi and on 3G. Give it a try, it’s a cool free new addition to your WP7 app list.

| Gold’n Rock ($ 0.99, Trial) – released on 12/9/2010 |
 |
|
Gold’n Rock is a fun Windows Phone 7 game: you are a gold rusher in the far west, a hook on a swinging rope is your way to richness: tap the rope at the right time and pick gold or diamonds, do it at the wrong time and you get only rocks. The game is intriguing and challenging enough, but the great thing about it is the graphic design. Really, we need more games like Gold’n Rock on the WP7 marketplace, games where the graphic design and production are valued and original: we deserve them. If there is something to improve in this game is music, kind of lacking and out of context when present.
