Windows 7 app of week: Minibin by Mike Edward Moras Thanks to David Bianco for the tip!

Windows Phone 7 app of the week: Basic Spanish for Dummies (99 cents) - We used this in Spain and it was pretty good as a dictionary, both Spanish to English and the reverse.

Audible pick of the week: The Name of the Wind: Kingkiller Chronicles, Day 1 by Patrick Rothfuss
Another suggestion from Jeff. A great fantasy novel, with part 2 just out (coming soon to Audible).
