First batch of Windows Phone 7 applications may include Yelp and YouTube

Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 was missing a critical feature -- web video -- when I previewed it late last month, but it appears the platform may have at least a YouTube solution before all is said and done. A former Microsoft program manager with access to the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace tweeted the above picture earlier this week, which shows that there are at least placeholders for a variety of games and productivity tools as well as Yelp and YouTube -- the latter of which is listed as a "Music Hub Add-On." I tried to access the catalog myselves from my test units and didn't see any new apps or updates, but it's possible this particular branch is restricted to Microsoft partner developers for the time being; I'd hate to think Microsoft was actively blocking our Keyboard Cat fix.
