I came upon this app and thought it was pretty cool – this is a secondary live tile from the London Travel app (which you’ll find on the Marketplace) which shows the balance of a TfL Oyster card which is used for travelling around – pretty good for avoiding being caught short!

The rest of the app, although not entirely polished, is also very good, with all the journey planning functions and things like that that you’d want, as well as a plain old Tube map which you can scroll around.You can get London Travel for £1.49.

I’ve moved onto the Mango generation of Windows Phones now, having received my new Nokia Lumia 800 device as part of the Microsoft Student Partner scheme. My first impressions of the device are excellent – the build quality seems far higher, it is by all accounts a more “luxury” device and it has some great extra feature – more on that soon though. Lumia is go – can’t wait to take it out into the real world!

This morning I’ve been pimping out my Windows Phone, courtesy of the wonders of developer unlock. This is my LG Optimus 7 – but fingers crossed, later this week I should be getting the new Nokia Lumia 800!

So yeah, I have started myself yet another blog for all my random online musings and activities – another one in a long and illustrious series of failed blogs. I’m not intending to post on this a great deal, but I will do so when there is cause to. To find a little more about me, check my homepage or follow me on Twitter on @timrogers. Much of what I post will probably be linked to my activities as a Microsoft Student Partner – more on that soon.
