MS Restores ZundHD Apps in Marketplace and...

Contrary to my previous alarmist post concerning Zune HD apps in the marketplace Microsoft has released 3 new games/apps into the wild for the Zune HD.
Needless to say this is welcome news for us Zune HD lovers.
The two new games are HAIRBALL and TILES.
The app is DRUM MACHINE.
I have not downloaded them yet but again while Microsoft never released much in the way of apps, they do continue to support the Zune HD with updates and free app/game releases. Seeing this now especially around the time Windows Phone 7 has been released to the UK is promising for Zune HD owners.
Perhaps the release of Windows Phone 7 will spark new and well deserved interest in the Zune HD platform and device.
