    Will The App Situation Ever Improve for Windows Phone?

    Tech bloggers don't get that most people has more interesting things to do that spending the whole day finding more ways to use a smartphone. A big part of the smartphone users don't need many apps, Microsoft has to address that population with something enticing for their needs. Or, as Tom...

    Are We Delusional?

    Now that Candy Crush is coming my app gap is disappearing. With the last update to IE to support webkit non-standard syntax, now I can do my bank operations and other stuff I was missing. I can't think of an app that I would really like to have on Wp. In other platforms I miss some of the WP...

    Is Daniel Rubino an embarrassment to Windows Central?

    You're right, That wasn't twitter, my mistake. He posted something similar on twitter a few days ago. "Looking to ban posting WMPU links in our forums. Can't take their crap 'reporting' anymore. Frustrating to have to always correct them."...

    If apple can do it alone, why not Microsoft Lumia?

    Yeah, the flagship phones should have names. I'd call the 1030 with 50mp the "All-Seeing Eye". Carry the the All-Seeing Eye in your pocket, wireless, no optical nerve.

    Is Daniel Rubino an embarrassment to Windows Central?

    Please read Daniel Rubino's tweet and the excellent response from wmpowerusers.com. To Daniel Rubino, Editor in chief, Windows Central I agree with them. It's not unusual to see Rubino's aggressive behavior in the comment section of Windows Central's articles. Mobile Nations shouldn't give the...

    Windows 10 and Universal Apps

    You're right, the unification is mostly done. The last two things are a unified app store and more consistency between the phone and tablet UI. So, Windows 10 is essentially marketing without substance.

    One NT to rule them all

    Windows Phone 8.1 implements 90% of the Windows 8.1 APIs, the unification is already done.

    One NT to rule them all

    WP already use the NT kernel, since 8.0. Windows 10 doesn't bring anything new. For the desktop is just Windows 7 with tiles, for mobile is just a refreshed UI. Universal apps are here since 8.1 but nobody is writing apps for the platform. So, Windows is dead in the consumer market, and...

    Is Microsoft unwise to ignore their own platform?

    God, It's so unfair. I'd use my Yaris keys to draw a **** in those m3s.

    Becoming more and more now...

    re: Yesterday Microsoft made some cross-platform announcements for developers, they even introduced an Android emulator. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft switches the focus to cross-platform development and neglects Universal apps. Windows is losing relevance at a fast pace in Microsoft...

    Is Microsoft unwise to ignore their own platform?

    Microsoft has almost a year to decide if releasing Windows 10 for mobile makes sense anymore. They lose a lot of money distributing and promoting a product globally, with razor thin margins, just to sell a few units.

    Is Microsoft unwise to ignore their own platform?

    It's pretty obvious that this thread is all speculation. But that doesn't mean there is 50%-50% of probability in the outcome, you have to take the available information and analyze. Two years ago, Microsoft was holding back Office for iOS to help the Surface. The most promoted feature was -It...

    Is Microsoft unwise to ignore their own platform?

    The primary objective of Windows 10 is productivity, the enterprise market. Mobile is segregated into a secondary variant that nobody will use. Office for Android came first because they privileged that project investing resources that could have been used in the Modern UI version. They showed...

    Is Microsoft unwise to ignore their own platform?

    Windows is dead in mobile. Windows 10 will make it even worst, Microsoft already gave up with Windows. They adopted Android and iOS as their preferred platforms to distribute their services. I don't recommend buying Windows devices or developing for this platform.

    Rudy huyn approached by Google

    I don't recommend using third party apps, It's a big risk. People don't understand that they're trusting their password and content to a nobody that could do bad things with them. Who knows what kind of person is this guy Huyn. Microsoft should show a big warning when the users download these...
