Windows mobile power user is reporting that MS wanted to implement a notification center, but ran out of time.
Guess we'll see it in WP9
TAKE THAT NAYSAYERS!

Notification Center in WP8
- Thread starter 1jaxstate1
- Start date
Interesting. I've mentioned in a few threads that switching to the new kernel must've taken a lot of time and resources for MS to focus on everything regarding WP8. You have a link to that report?
What DID happen to WeeBear?

Here's the link http://wmpoweruser.com/interesting-...ification-centre-for-wp8-but-ran-out-of-time/
WeeBear took a break due to something with his eye, If i remember correctly.
They clearly ran out of time. WP8 is WP7.5 with a new kernel and a promising future, it's a new start. We are 5 years late, i hope MSFT update WP more often because one year for a major update is not enough.

Hahaha but at the moment you are! j/k.
It'll be interesting to see their take on a notification center. Hopefully we'll see one in 8.5. I'm hoping they MS left a bunch of features out because they plan to speed up their dev and release cycles once they got over the hump of the kernel switch.

They are going to have to rebuild the kernal again, so no updates for WP8 to WP9, which will introduce the all new fantastic notification system. Lol

Motorola is going to lose money, get dropped by google, pick up wp9, and become the new Nokia. Market down.
WEll i guess that rumor awhile back where they had to cut features out of wp8 to make the launch date could have some validity if this rumor turns out to be true.
And remember when Nodo came out which brought cut and paste (then considered a major omission)? Yeah that was like sometime at the beginning of the new year, before Mango mid-year.

Absolutely.
NoDo was January 2011 or so (very soon after WP7s launch). Mango arrived in September 2011, I think?
I thought Mango was 'official' in like end of July but some carriers didnt roll it out till a couple months after. At least..i htink thats what happened.
NoDo was announced at CES (January) and MWC (February) but didn't actually come out until March (and April for most of us).
We'll probably see an intermediate update announced at MWC. I doubt it'll include anything that would require updates to the SDK though. I'm guessing more hardware support (Snapdragon S4 Pro and perhaps ST-Ericcson's NovaThor and NVIDIA's Tegra 4) and other things that don't really affect users (like universal search). We'll see though
I think the Mango beta was released late July, with it going RTM in mid/late August, and it being officially released around September.
Think about it, if the notification center is like the N9, swipe to the left from the home screen
Trying to think, if you swipe your finger to the left from the Start screen on WP8 (revealing screen right of Start), you'd get Kids Corner, so for a Notification Center you'd be swiping your finger to the right (revealing screen left of Start).
Aaaah, that makes sense. I remember coming down from Yosemite in April 2011 and there was an update notification on my phone. So that was NoDo, then. Thanks for the clarification.
it shouldnt even be a major update to add a notification center couldnt they slip it in sometime from now til march in a minor update
