Notification Center in WP8

[CJ Thunder]

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).

I frequently get two texts at the same time and only see one of them so even looking at the screen you can miss things. It has to be in the OS. Swipe from left of Start won't help in a game or movie or other app. It has to be an off screen pull or a reorganization of the buttons.

Though in some apps I feel doing the pull down like iOS or Android plays into some errors and it might be too late to do a button reorganization.

Notificationcenter mentioned at BUILD!
We might see it in the future. Awesome news!

I must admit, I felt both vindicated and relieved when I read this. I was seriously considering moving on from WP if a notification center (or some amalgam thereof) wasn't implemented in wp8. But the truth of the matter is that I strongly believe in and like/love wp's approach to mobile computing and I have substantial misgivings when it comes to android and ios (although I can admire aspects of those os's). Although I wish a notification center was part of wp8, I can understand the delay and am more glad than anything that the community's request is being acknowledged. I'm hoping to see notification center in the next incremental or .5 upgrade and cant wait to see how ms thoughtfully applies wp's unique design/ui philosophy to the notification center.

I don't see the problem with hitting the home button and swiping once to go to the left of the tiles. Seriously not a big deal, way better than having buried notifications in the Me app as it is right now.

That is two steps, the other two systems use pull down. Nothing wrong with using a good idea.
