Microsoft Chooses the Top Health Apps For WP7

Microsoft held a contest to see what the top health and life science apps were for Windows Phones and they’ve now announced ten winners of a 4gb Xbox 360 with Kinect (sick prize). One of the winners is an app I personally use as well as some of the writers here and that’s 6 Week Training that is both free and rocking 5 stars and we all love it. Anyway, It’s a neat contest and the winners are noteworthy, so let’s share them here:
