Hey XDA,

Romit Metha (@theromit) started a Google doc that is keeping track of some of the most popular and big name mobile apps out there and whether or not they are available for WP7.

Here is a link to the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atl58J-8ikdwdHpVOTJzTjhGSHBTeVUyRlNjVHRsX0E&hl#gid=0

Do you want me to list them in this post too? Or just refer to the link?
Tweet suggestions to him (@theromit) or post them below and I'll pass the message on to him to update the list accordingly.

What apps do you want to see on Windows Phone 7 that are available on iOS, Android or BB?
I'm looking forward to a Wells Fargo application or Mint.com, as well as Nike+, and Instagram.

Sam

PS:
We are looking for suggestions for apps that are officially on iOS (iPhone) and Android (Smartphones not Tablets). Maybe a thread for the tablet versions of apps can be appropriate in the Windows 8 forum once it launches later this year. In the meantime lets focus on mobile!

Edit: To reduce duplication, here are all the apps so far.

Square
Pandora
Words With Friends
Instagram

Code:
Spotify
Soundhound

Are already in the Marketplace for a while now...

And Nokia has a Univision app (don't know if its official).

People also want a YouTube app and a Google Maps app (all official, arguably more wanted/needed than Google+)

+ 1 for teamviewer - that would be amazing.
Skype obviously. Also Aweditorium, Flipbook, dragon dictation, and most importantly a UK version of the Amazon app.

What's missing the in the list (ordered by importance) :

1) Hamachi, HAMACHI , HAMACHI!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. LogMeIn is different from Hamachi. LogMeIn let's you remotely login (a sort of VNC client/server), Hamachi creates fast and easy peer 2 peer VPN (even behind firewall).

2) Jaxtr !!!!!!!!!! JAXTR !!!!!!!!

3) a proper Console/cmd for moving, rename files, ping and similar

4) torrent client

5) a java virtual machine (even an emulated one would be good enough)

6) ssh/ftp/http/php server (3 different apps)

Flipboard would be amazing, both on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. I feel like it could translate nicely with the metro design language.

Keep the suggestions coming XDA! I'll work on updated the first post in this thread and keeping it clean and organizing it better. I'm also going to send our suggestions to Romit too.

Sam

So true. Flipbook looks and feels like it should have been an app designed specifically for metro. They both quote a 'celebration of typography'. It will really shine on a windows 8 tablet, but I could easily see it working on wp7 too. Fingers crossed.

Skype and a Port of the Android App "Quizoid" ( I have the Database with the Questions, so I can port it, but alone is not so easy ) ...

    Pandora(just don't think metroradio is quite as good as pandora)
    Draw Something
    Splashtop or Logmein or some remote desktop app

    Thanks for all your work, developers.
    You can stream Pandora (and use the phone's media controls) through the web interace, actually. You still have to go back to the page to Like/Dislike/Block a song, but that's pretty easy and it does (sort of) reduce the need for an app. Personally, I just use Zune Pass now - costs more than the paid Pandora subscription I used to have, but has a ton of advantages over Pandora.

    There are both Remote Desktop clients (for connecting to Windows; the one I use is called "RemoteDesktop" and works quite well) and SSH clients (for connecting to OS X and Linux boxes, though command-line only since there's no X11 Server for WP7 yet).
