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.
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.
On Monday, Microsoft announced the launch dates. In the US, the phones come out on November 8th
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!

Thanks PoV. I’ve already got my marketplace access sorted out, but it’s a good thing to note.
