Avatar Gadgets WP7
Avatar Gadgets is a windows phone app that gives the xBox Avatar on your windows phone some nice little novelty apps to play around. If you are going huh ? for that statement , let me try to explain that last statement. Avatar Gadgets gives the user a bunch of novelty apps like a spirit level, flashlight, lighter etc but instead of using these apps in a normal way your xBox live avatar comes up on the screen and will use these apps. I know it sounds a bit corny n all but it is done tastefully. Check out our impression of the app below.
Avatar Gadgets used to be a paid app and I was not a fan of the idea then but when Microsoft decided to release it as a free app it certainly caught my attention. Avatar Gadgets offers the user 6 different novelty apps
- Spirit Level
- Flashlight
- Ruler
- Flip a Coin
- Lighter
- Bobblehead
Something about the way in which each of these app integrate with the avatar adds a nice touch to the overall user experience with the app. In the Spirit Level app your avatar jumps around as you switch from landscape to portrait. With the flash light app your avatar uses a flash light and you can increase the brightness using the slider and that will turn the entire screen white. Ruler app offers the user a cm/inch ruler that is pretty much all it does. Then we have a coin toss app , now instead of using a run of the mill coin toss app you can let your avatar do this for you ( trust me it looks much more awesome ). Then the lighter which looks a lot like a Zippo, you can light it by sliding across the wheel and turn it off the same way. Finally we have a bobble head toy, you can bring up any xbox live avatar as a bobble head , its quite funny to use :) , FYI it support both accelerometer and touch actions.
I dont know if the app will stay as a free app from now on , my advice to you is get is now while its free. It offers a bunch of novelty app for you to use in a fancy way. Now only one question remains regarding this app, why is this is the games hub ? I have no answer for that , but would love to hear your thoughs / theories on it

LOL I’ve only just seen the video!
That bobble head thing is great :D
Saw myself looking so grumpy, I just couldn’t help but laugh out loud xD
its a nice little app to show off to your mates who own an xbox and dont have a wp7.
It keeps giving me an error code when i try to download it. so does puzzle quest 2 and crackdown 2? Is any1 else having this issue? Other games are downloading fine just these 3 won’t =[
what is the error code number , try googling the error code , it might come up with some more info on it
Its error code: 8032000f i googled it a few people had this same issue but it went away for them I’m also getting error code: c00cee3b when i scroll over to the top category in games
this might be worth a try : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-sync/marketplace-will-not-launch-i-am-getting-a/457ea301-b130-4f90-b6a8-c495c82dff5e
I’m feeling a bit daft!
I downloaded the app and set my avatar up with the flipping-coin.
However, I don’t see any way to tell the app to save it!!!
Can you only play with it in the app?
