Hello all I know that not all apps purchased on WP are available without repurchase on Windows 8, but for those that are, what is the easiest and quickest way to get them onto your PC/W8 tablet? On my Surface Pro, I have been looking around at the apps that have the little tablet-phone logo and...

I think a nice solution would be to have an unofficial Android emulator that runs as an app and loads roms like the NES and SNES emulators on WP. It wouldn't be heavy duty, but for the people above who want to run a game or two or me (I want to run a Wi-fi calling app on a European carrier that...

In addition, I should point out that an Android emulator for Windows is available. It's called Bluestacks ( BlueStacks ) and it's free. It doesn't stop the W8 market from developing. I only have it because one day I wanted to type whatsapp messages on my Surface and it seemed like the easiest...

In my mind, it would be really great to have an UNOFFICIAL android launcher. Back in the day I built a hackintosh from a netbook just so I could run some old games that I played as a teenager. PC geeks are great at getting what they want that way. A lot of people love WP, don't care that much...

Hello fellow WP users! I have been a WP user from day one and can't see myself ever switching to another OS, at least for the moment :P but like many others, the app gap gets me green with envy from time to time. I also am the proud owner of a Surface Pro (first generation) and recently...

I think that a big issue is that there are no comprehensive parental controls aimed at TEENAGERS and young adults. Yes, kids corner is a great feature for those letting kids play with their phones, but there is no website filtering for teens and young adults who could easily get on to some...

I do believe that the OS restrictions limit possibilities for several other types of applications. Perhaps they make it difficult too to develop apps like this, but I don't believe that something like Wifi calling would not be available. It exists on T-mobile in the US on Windows Phone. Visual...

Hello all I've been a Windows Phone fan and owner since I bought my Samsung Focus on launch day, so I've seen the evolution of the app situation from day one. All in all, we have most of what we need and of course I don't care about the fart apps that Android and iOS have plenty of. What I am...

Yes. I always install patches and I'm a regular reader of wpcentral so I get to see when the big ones come out. Surprisingly, I had decent consistency right before Windows 8.1 came out and after the update, I ended up having reduced wifi performance, reverting, but updating again because I'm not...

Hello all. I am a proud owner of the original Surface Pro since launch day and am overall very satisfied with the device. In addition, it still performs very well a little over a year after the purchase. I do, however, have one annoying concern. I have been living in France for a year and will...

I have a surface pro and have been keeping it nice and clean: no battery sucking apps, not a whole lot of background processes, etc. I was hoping that there was a way to sync my good ol' Zune HD without installing the annoying zune software, importing the whole library, then keeping it in check...

Hey all, I know this might seem like an odd request, but I am looking for apps that I can buy once on my phone (or Surface Pro) and play on one (and the other) without re-purchasing. I know it might seem like it doesn't matter, but I have a few dollars left on an app gift card and would like my...

Patiently waiting :S today is my birthday and I started trying to use the live link on the myportal section last night at midnight :D one might say I'm a bit obsessed...but hey, it's my birthday. This was one of the 'presents' I was looking forward to.

all these are turning out to be pretty good. Anyone know any good puzzlers? Those tend to work pretty well with touch also, and some can occupy me for quite a while.

I read that in a list, but it costs money now, yes?... :\ I already paid for it on WP and I'm banking on getting the unity. I paid a good 3 bucks for it when it first came out on WP7
