Windows 8 supports third party notification icons on the lock screen for a fixed number of apps (i think it's like 8 or 10). I'd say its a sure bet we'll get something similar in Apollo
Oh great. Now I have to memorize what each 3/16" tall third party icon represents and figure this out before the Lock screen goes dim. And on the slim chance I do remember, I still have to unlock the screen, scroll through my tiles, open the app with the notification and figure out what they were trying to tell me. And on the notification light. Between email, texts and third party notifications, my light would be be blinking about 60% of the day. Maybe more. Think my light for missed calls works great right now. Just enough.
Will use my stock statement from the WinMo days though. As long as I can toggle the feature off, and using it does not have any negative impact on device performance, then go for it.
