I'm bored with paid YouTube apps, unofficial google maps and ugly google.com. Why doesn't google help us? Won't they support us forever? Can someone send me a link of google's announcement about windows phone support? Thanks.
Now you're being kinda delusionalMicrosoft's services are actually vastly superior on Windows Phone. A youtube video is a youtube video...you don't need a freakin app for it.

MetroTube so far is the best YouTube app I have ever used on a smartphone and its trial version is almost full-featured .. I'd highly recommend it for anyone.I don't use any of the Google services except for Youtube, which I use anywhere from 1 to 10 times per day. So I would really like to have an official free Youtube app. Microsoft needs to start playing hardball to force Google's hand.

Ah the old chicken and egg. They make fantastic meals LOLGoogle's reasons for not building WP8 apps are the same as those of many other companies (banks, airlines, Instagram, Vine etc): not enough users for a return on the investment. Building an app and supporting it is not a small undertaking at Google's scale and judging from the recent iOS apps they released, they're really going for good design and quality. So once there are enough users to justify the costs, we'll see all the apps coming to WP. MS does not help here with their insistence on making development hard (fees for SDK, publishing apps) or their insistence on using proprietary MS tech instead of industry standards (DX11 for game engines vs OpenGL ES). Part of me thinks this is because MS has an antipathy towards open-source anything.
This is of course a chicken-and-egg problem, so I don't know how/if it will be solved.
It's not just about market share. MS and Google are sworn enemies. Google are actively blocking development of apps for any MS phone.
Who cares, we don't need Google. I've recently started using Bing as my search engine. Who knew it was this good???
Truth be told Bing sucks. Microsoft needs to be more agressive. I would prefer to use MSFT becuase I literally don?t trust Google, but I can?t get my Outlook.com mail to sync properly on my Mac because it uses POP, that well that is very 90s. I tried using Bing, but the results aren?t on par with Google. Thing is, MSFT has gotten many things right. Office has NO competition, and Skydrive simply rocks. But they are messing up with their services, they sort made some bad moves (from a business perspective) with Windows 8, and they need to make Outlook more robust and feature filled than Google, they have been doing email longer. IMHO
You are an ignorant buffoon if you think Bing sucks. You may prefer Google, but Bing is incredible and preferred by most people!
