So I think it is important before we all jump in that a lot is missing.....despite the claim they should all work

1. tunein radio: there is no better free ad supported,app to get local fm and am radio: missing from wp8/Nokia 920

2. Adobe reader

3. Pulse newsreader

Good Technology - Until it's updated for WP8, we can not purchase/use new WP devices for our very large company. I've had to tell 14 people to return their 920's just this morning.

Shuffle Party - a free Xbox Live game by Microsoft surprisingly is missing.

I was going to say TuneIn but I see that's already covered.

Quicken or Mint.com, a good DLNA client and a good media player that can play mpg files like mobo or mx player on the android.

Since you have an inbuilt pdf reader, I don't really see the necessity of adobe reader in WP8

WP8 missing apps

I see that several of my favorite apps are missing:

- Photosynth
- Bing Translator
- Skype (a full version that allows you to delete your history)

All of the above are coming (confirmed by their respective teams/blogs)

There is a PDF reader app for WP8 pushed out by Nokia, works well. Spotify is coming soon as well.

Some apps that use Nuance (Dragon Speech/Dictation)...have issues when doing Text to Speech (Say Mail, Ask Ziggy),etc.

That's it for my 'high priority list'.
