Days Until Xmas for Windows Phone 7

Today I'm happy to announce my first free Windows Phone 7 application is up on the Windows Marketplace.

Grab the application here - http://bit.ly/acLe1V

What is it? Well, it's a Days Until Christmas application and simply tells you how long until Christmas Day! You may already notice a few applications on the store that do a similar thing but this one I think is much nicer looking and is also free. See below for a video of the application running in the simulator - although I don't have a Windows Phone 7 device - I'd love to see your own videos of the app running on a real device.

I would like to thank Adam Kinney, Dom Barnfather and Jonas Follesø for helping getting the application up and on the store, testing on a device and generally helping out with ideas.

Let me know what you think,

Cheers,

ChrisNTR

  • You should add live-tile support

  • @Jonathan

    Having live-tile support would be neat, sadly it gets awfully complicated (and difficult with the live-tile limitations) to have the day show on the app icon without it being a day or two out of date. Having something that would work nicely would involve some background thread running, which isn't possible on the WP7 OS.

    Any ideas on how to get it working nicely?
