Not the implementation I expected, but I assume the live tile opens a more exhaustive and robust Notification Center? More photos, even videos would be appreciated.
If you're fine with this kind of idiotic implementation, no wonder you don't need a notification center. And what's this all about turning into android.....Notification center is a cool thing, if android gives superior experience when it comes to notification center, I don't mind if MS does something similar. This is becoming ridiculous, are you people really wanting WP to succeed or not ??

This sounds like we will end up having the same situation as we have now, with apps having to provide their own settings for what notifications will be shown where. While I know some around here bemoan fine-grained options as being too complex, I'd be more in favour of developers setting a default, users perhaps getting a prompt on installation / launch of what this default is, and there being a unified control for notifications somewhere. A setting where you can flick on and off toast notifications, and filter the notifications from the notification centre.WPCentral said:We can add that notifications for the Center could optionally be "ghosts", meaning they won't cause Toast notifications or alerts on the device, but instead will show up in the Center. This will evidently be a developer option, part of thew new SDK and it will be used for more common notifications, ones that are not deemed urgent.
IF I want WP to succeed??? It already has!! WP ideas are already being pilfered by iOS and Android. That's success right there.
If the WP users just play to the lowest common denominator, we will be stuck with rows of icons and 'bolt on' solutions for decades...
I can understand that some users will not want to pin apps to the Start Screen and just rely on toasts. If you then miss notifications for that app, then that is your fault. Just pin the icon and make it the smallest size. Designate an area on your start screen with said small icons as notifications. Use the OS, don't fight against it trying to justify perceived missing features.
I agree with the need for 'toggle' icons for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc.. A fairly minor addition, which can be integrated well.
As for 'file managers'... don't get me started. Newsflash... it's a PHONE not a f***ing computer!!! If you want that sort of functionality, shell out some cash for a laptop.. Jesus!!!!
The constant whining about WP and Microsoft is really starting to annoy me. Everyone seems to have a better idea about everything, or 'it doesn't do it like I want it to', or on Android has this and that X features. I, for one, do not want to constantly be joined to my phone. A mobile phone is a useful adjunct to life, not the centre of it!!!
If you can do better, develop your own OS......
in WPCentralJumping to conclusions and whining over a picture that has not been confirmed... yup sounds about right for the WP community.
do you guys thing that search button is useful or fulfilling the purpose? still it doesnt have internal search as well...
Apps have some ways to make info available when the search button is pressed. But they don't do it so it's part missing features for that button part lack of support from apps
Seriously? Do you have a source for this? Because if this is true, Microsoft should really try to spur developers to use that search button and start using the button themselves to search through mail in the mail app et cetera.
Ugly, what's the purpose of a tile as a notification center ?? Live tiles of individual apps do this job already. And what if I want to open it whenever I'm in some application ?? Nokia team needs to overtake WP team, MS knows nothing about other markets outside US, JoeBelfiore's statement about Bluetooth says a lot. Bring a proper notification center and a proper file management system.
