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.

\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.

\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!
