WP8 is great and glad its gaining ground. But lets face it, WP specific and original apps and accessories are thin on the ground at best.
iOS have their (OLD) connectors in lots of hi-fis, hotel clock-radios and some cars so once your in that loop its hard to leave.
Android have open source and a wide range of sexy & powerful kit.
For WP to thrive and not JUST survive it needs to offer something different. I love the People Hub which is quite unique and the integration (when it works) with Window8 and the new Xbox.
With the advent of high end cameras, how about an Underwater Housing (using the in-built GPS would be a first!) that connects to ANY Windows Phone using a USB connected to a couple of simple buttons, an APP from the store to control it and some moveable spacers so when you upgrade your phone you can still use the same case unlike regular cameras? Even have an emergency SOS button to send a message / text including GPS coordinates.....
I know it wont appeal to the masses but useful for the seaside, snorkelers & divers alike but there are now a couple of waterproof phones out there so proof of concept is there!
Any other bright ideas out there?
