Microsoft has just launched a new Windows Phone app builder website, Windows Phone App Studio . You can now build a great looking app in no time and earn a free phone from me in the process.

We also had other winners who created awesome Windows Phone apps. I’ll write a future post on a list of the winners, for now, lets see some pictures.
