"I will admit it, I am absolutely and utterly hopeless at chess. From way back in the day when my ZX Spectrum would humiliate me with hissy verbal abuse in Speech Chess, right up to the present day and being forced into unfair stalemates on the chess variant...
Apps function just as you'd expect-they're small programs that look great and really take advantage of the nice screen. They are all professionally designed by Microsoft, though a couple are really worthless (ahem, Shell Game... Of the Future), but hey, they're free!
Or, rather, they're "free," since Microsoft has apparently decided to sell ads against them. The ads show up during app launch, which takes an astonishingly long time. Booting Chess took 30 seconds, though I suppose one could be grateful for the Kia Soul video that gives the eyes something to do.
A couple pics of my new sexy toy.
edit damm I don't know why I still can't attach images...aahh whatever, anyway I'm still playing around with it but its a great mp3 player and the new software is hot....I love new toys.[walks off singing]
