The guide is geared towards teens but the easy-to-understand writing is perfect for the not-so-tech-savvy among the population. Best of all, the guide is free for download in friendly PDF format. Check out the link and let the Gods of Redmond, WA drop some knowledge.

My Phone for Windows Phone 7 photographed outside of captivity

The folks over at WMPoweruser.com have a rather revealing picture of My Phone for upcoming Windows Phone 7 devices. Although My Phone isn't exactly the newest thing in the world it's good to get a quick snapshot of it's interface and features.
