Although Windows Phone 8 is just starting to roll out for Microsoft and some folks even have new HTC 8X or Lumia 920's in their hands, those new Apollo-specific apps are still few and far between. Luckily we got our hands on a few new titles and we'll give you a brief video walkthrough on our AT&T Lumia 920...

  • UrbanSpoon
  • Words with Friends
  • Cut the Rope
  • CNN (Lens + Lockscreen)
  • Groupon (Lockscreen)
  • Hey DJ! (Voice integration)
  • Angry Birds Roost (Lockscreen)
  • Microsoft PDF Reader
  • ESPN Scorecenter

Overall not a bad selection and we're really digging the Lockscreen wallpapers. Of all the new features in Windows Phone 8, that has the most potential for being really unique. Anyway, sit back and enjoy the tour.
