Microsoft has just released a new MSN application for Windows Phone 7 today which is apparently aimed at only one demographic: Young Men. MSN Onit is essential a MSN news readers which puts an emphasis on what guys are attracted too: Women, cars, Money, fitness etc.. So how doe it look like? Performance is quite good and UI retains follows the Metro guidelines. The only cons I see is that it’s strictly aimed at US users (and is only available in the US Marketplace AFAICS) and doesn’t run under the lock screen (unlike the cool MSN Videos application). Check out my MSN Onit hands-on video after the break:
