My October challenge entry is a game for the Windows Phone 7. That means I can’t sell a copy until Windows Phones are available.<\/p>\n

At the start of October, Microsoft hadn’t even told us when they were going to tell us when the phones would be released. I was getting anxious.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Microsoft announced the launch dates. In the US, the phones come out on November 8th \":(\"<\/p>\n

But in Europe and Asia, the launch date is October 21st. I’ll have nine days to sell a copy. I can still win this!<\/p>","time":"October 13th, 2010 12:25 am","title":"Microsoft Delivers!"}
