MSN Onit: a guy’s guide on Windows Phone 7

This peculiar (and mundane) news app got published last week on the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. With an approach similar to men’s magazines (Men’s Health and Esquire are part of the news sources), MSN Onit – a guy’s guide – groups web articles, news and pictures for young male audience (boys, boys!). Interesting questions like what are the measurement of Playboy’s miss February or Do blondes have more fun can be easily found in this first example of all-male Windows Phone 7 App.

Articles can be shared with your buddies on FB or email and links to the source web site allows reader to go deeper in their quest for male-centered information. You can also sign in with your Windows Live ID to synchronize your MSN Onit settings between devices.

Technically, the app is well done, with good metro integration, snappy UI and clean menus. Some comments report the app does not work outside US and that it loads slow – well we found the loading time to be a little long, but only at the start of the app, after that the app was responsive (but again we tested mostly under Wi-Fi coverage).

MSN Onit is free with contextual non-intrusive ads, so if you are interested in guys’ news check it out on your WP7.
