Tired of hearing about iOS this and iOS that? Awesome! We’ll swing to the completely opposite side — Windows Phone 7. According to Windows Phone App List, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile reborn now has 25,000+ apps to choose from — 25,015 to be exact.

Mozilla may have been coy about Android’s flavor of Mobile Firefox, dubbed “Fennec”, but after a few weekend sightings, it appears that development behind the new mobile browser is moving along at quite a decent clip.
