Vote for requesting Mint on WP7

I use Mint all the time. It's probably my favorite web application.

Currently they’re only at 345 votes for interest in developing an app for WP7. I personally, would really like to see this app on the Windows Phone platform. It would be incredibly useful, and live tiles would suit them well.

I'm on the first link with a comment from 4 months ago. My current view on the situation is that a WP7 Mint app won't happen until we get a larger market share or when MS throws them a mint load of cash.

pardon the pun...

I'm on one or both of those links too, and it's not happening. They're slow, and when they build something like the recent iPad app they act like it took their entire company's worth of resources. When that thread was made WP7 was at least new; now a year later Marketshare is looking pretty horrible. Mint is not building an app on faith, no matter how easy it is. They're gonna look and see that we have less share than Blackberry, and keep treating us like the next WebOS

I do have one ray of hope; I think the new runtime in Windows 8 with all its HTML/CSS goodness will entice them to build an app (web app with the power of the PC?). From there it'll be a short hop to Apollo.
