|Home Depot and liquor stores – two places I know if I walk into I can find something I need and I’ll leave with something in hand. Well one of them has an official Windows Phone app:

Now it’s easier than ever for you to get inspired, search, plan, shop and get more done on the go.

The Home Depot app makes it easy to keep tabs on everything that catches your eye. Save tools and materials directly to your list to remember for later. Now you can log into your homedepot.com account directly from your phone.
I doubt this will stop me from mindlessly waling through their aisles in search of something to leave with, but it’s always good to see some of the larger corporations writing apps for Windows Phones.
Damn, you beat me to it. Glad i checked first. Anyway, this app works pretty well. The in-store map is a bit lame but now I know where the restrooms are tucked away. Here is the link: zune://navigate/?phoneAppID=b8a2b9ac-f853-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Good thing that such a huge name (Microsoft) is trying to break in to the market. Their name recognition alone will help to convince large corporations such as Home Depot to create apps for the platform. Still not regretting my HTC Surround purchase, and only more good things to come.
