Good Thread I use Zipwhip daily. It works great in a sidebar while I am at work

Only works in combination with an Android phone right now though, right?

MediaMonkey has an app out now. Better than the built in music player. Seems to be on par with Music Info..

I downloaded Pinball fx2 a while ago and whilst browsing through add ons for my xbox noticed that they had just released Star Wars themed tables. Jumped on my Surface and low and behold there sat the Star Wars themed tables. Looks like developers with xbox games are finding it easy to make ports to the RT.

The tables are pretty good and worth the cost in my opinion. Was getting lots of attention on the train on the way in this morning and i dont think it was down to my good looks :winktongue:

Has anyone found a Facebook App that works? I guess using the browser for Facebook would be a good option, but I'm looking for a bit more tablet/touch minded.

I don't have many, but enjoy my Kindle for Windows 8 app for reading Kindle books.
If you have kids (I do), Khan Academy has a great app for math for the kids. You can download videos to show them off-line as well. It's great to use in the car on the way to/from school when you want them to review something.

Data Collector and Indexer app

http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/data-collector-and-indexer/33cf0362-bfb1-4d2c-a95d-e1feea7ee381c-a95d-e1feea7ee381

Capture data from different sources and store them locally for quick reference. All text is indexed for fast search. The search feature allows for great flexibility in defining search criteria to narrow search results. The search engine can easily cope with massive amount of data.

The full version of Game Dev Tycoon is now RT compatible. Been enjoying it on my Surface Pro and saw this little tidbit in the update today, so thought I would pass the news along.

I love Comix. I used it daily for comic book reading. I have all my digital comics on SkyDrive and the integration is awesome.

You Tube RT - free promo on as of this writing, it just might be the best youtube app across any device

MINE for Facebook - free, once again, we think it's the best Facebook app on any platform

OneNote - free, (the app, not the desktop version) I think everyone knows about this one

AppStars - free, awesome and unique way to browse the store

Windows Phone Store - free, a more organized and touch friendly way to browse the WP store

Fotor and it's companion Colour Splash Studio - both free, you just have to try these, easy to use, quality metro UI and professional quality edits
