    Can’t live without your Goo Splat or Castles and Cannons, those instant classics that appeared on the Zune HD? You’ll be happy to hear that Microsoft is planning on puffing up the WP7 app catalog with ported versions. “The apps that we have built internally for Zune, we’re actually looking at porting those over to Windows Phone,” said Microsoft’s Dave McLauchlan in a Zune Insider podcast — though he tempered that, also saying that “Right now, our focus for the app team is, more apps for Zune. Zune owners would like to hear that there’s more stuff coming.”

    While the addition of a couple dozen apps won’t put WP7′s numbers in line with iOS’s and Android’s, a few more (and fairly entertaining, some of them) won’t hurt anybody.
