| Wiki Panda (Free) |
WikiPanda is a Wikipedia client for your Windows Phone. Search a topic on the home screen, see the results on a full window browser that uses the more bandwidth-savvy mobile Wikipedia web site. Once on the topic, you can select the content in the available languages, quickly browse through sections or related categories. Back on the home screen, your recent search are saved and quickly tap-able. The featured and on this day sections from the Wikipedia home page are also available. Overall WikiPanda is a simple but effective client for the free web encyclopedia, one of the best we tried for WP7.

I’m Here, is a useful location service app: wait for the GPS to pick up your position and the app will pinpoint it on the Bing map. Tap on the address arrow and your geo-location is translated into a street address. Now you can send an SMS/MMS, Email or post to Facebook what your position is (you can also include a print screen of the map). This is useful when you want to give indication to your friends, family – or your customers if you are a real estate agent for example – where they can reach you. The app is somewhat similar to Foursquare or Facebook Places, but it differs in not focusing on places around you, but simply on your position; giving a more practical (and useful) twist to the check-in apps category. I’m Here has a free trial, so you can try it before you buy it.
