My simple desktop. Loving Windows 10 much, but that on screen keyboard...smh. It doesn't auto-summon for text input from first party apps. And no trace typing like mobile. Argh...

Good work, Sam. I like a lot of the ideas you presented.

Thanks for the wonderful and meh responses, everyone. I love discussing things with other adults of all maturity levels. Anyway, check out Version B of the concepts at http://on.be.net/1uan63T if you'd like. Made a few refinements based on some feedback.

Glancability was the greatest myth of the Windows 8 era. 30 minute refresh limits isn't the full story here either. I still see tweet notifications on my Twitter tile and Skype notifications that are days old, despite newer activity. You wouldn't be losing anything; you'd be gaining a less...

Because the functionality of the current Live Tile comes at the expense of sensible cognitive load and a fluid, consistent and breathable layout. Also, because the information on Live Tiles do not consistently update in real-time: goes for both MS apps and third party apps. No point in showing...

The Peek feature I outlined on the concept gives you what you want really; the information you like to see from the Start screen. It just requires an intentional click on the Tile's arrow to temporarily disrupt the symmetrical grid of Tiles to expand the Peek view. I hope that helps.

See it on my Behance... https://www.behance.net/gallery/22462727/Windows-10-for-Phones-concept It focuses on the reinvention of the Live Tile and bringing better one handed use to the OS.

It's a great device and what a deal you for!

Does the dark theme for the taskbar remind anyone of the MSN Classic tray menu?

I am pretty satisfied with my response =) . Anyway ... the feeling of entitlement that a phone should be able to keep 32GB+ of music ... smh. If that's the case, put it in the cloud, a la Amazon Cloud Player, Google Play, etc. I just stream from Spotify and all is well. "But wait! Data...

How much of your life do you spend on your phone where you have to say 32GB is not enough? They still sell the 160GB iPod Classic if A/V means that much to you. And if it is gaming that is taking up too much space, I am betting you have other parts of your life that need attention and a gym...

Burris, your use case sounds like you should stick with iPhone then. iMessage is a deal breaker for many, but honestly, I push for people to use Facebook Messenger since it's accessible on the big 3. GroupMe is another option but I only know a few people who use that app religiously. And your...

Keep this in perspective also: It's just a phone. Unless your current phone is about to go kaput and you require a new device pronto, don't fret. Waiting a few weeks for a special or a perm price drop is no big deal really. I'm waiting for the 8.1 Blue update myself seeing there is nothing new...

That's what she said
