Windows Phone 7 does have its perks, but there is no denying that some basic features are missing in the Mango platform. Take compass, as an example. While iOS does have a stock compass app, WP7 has to rely on third party options for this purpose, but luckily, quite a few are available. SuperCompass is a new addition to the Marketplace, and brings a lot of new options to the mix in addition to just an ordinary orientation indicator. The app makes navigation a whole lot easier by overlaying the compass with camera view, as well as maps.

The same approach will be applied to writing and taking notes. However, many people might think that it is convenient to scribble on a paper rather than typing on your iPhone when you have to write in a hurry. On the other hand, handwritten notes can prove to illegible at a later time, or, depending on your hand writing, for others.

It is an app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that will let you create handwritten notes, and then convert them to digital text.

Screen brightness is something that we all adjust, but having to go through complex menus or chose from several options for achieving this, is not fun. An easier way to adjust screen brightness on a Mac is definitely needed. Brightness Slider is a Mac app that we covered last year for adjusting screen brightness from the Menu Bar. Shady is a similar Mac app that adjusts the screen brightness, but has keyboard controls. You can increase or decrease the brightness using the up and down arrow keys, and quit the app by hitting Q. These keys are functional when the app is front most.
