BUILD 2014 Live - WP8.1 Discussion Thread

[rockstarzzz]

Daniel said 10th April but either way for non-US customers it sucks mostly as Cortana the best bit, has been left out for rest of the world. So no matter when I get my preview, I won't be as happy.

That does suck specially when I live in the UK, I'm currently on WP7.8 and hoping that it will be released when the new devices come with 8.1 at the end of this month into May.

However I doubt this will be the case and it a shame for those who will get WP8.1 with the dev preview.

I was a bit disappointed but not surprised by the total lack of mention of Windows RT. (there was a reference to RT in the IDE screenshot, but that was about it)

Doesn't look like RT is getting the 8.1 Update

I saw no mention of RT when talking about Universal apps. That would've been the time to say how universal apps would catapult Windows RT to be the premiere tablet OS. But they didn't, which makes me wonder.

Um, RT was already updated to 8.1. It follows the regular Windows update schedule.

They always mentioned phone, tablet and pc. I think they meant rt by mentioning tablet

The leaked copies of the updates have an installer for the rt tablets.

That's not a safe assumption. In the past, Surface TV ads showcased Pros. Then consider that only Surface Pro devices were used during the keynote.

I believe he was referring to "8.1 update 1"... that was leaked a few weeks ago so it will most likely be available to the RT.

Does anyone know if HTC 8S is getting the update?

If anyone has 8.1 installed can you tell me how much space does the OS take?

ALL WP8 devices are getting it. But not yet.

Bit of a kick in the nuts knowing Cortana isn't coming to Australia - from what they've said in the conference anyway.

They may have missed the ball :\

Where can we watch Nokia's event? isn't that going on right now?

 

[kyriacou48]

Haha well played.

​Looks like it comes to all countries after UK and China - that's cool I suppose

 

[bsayegh]

Slow clap for that Nokia conference.

I have installed 8.1 update 1 on my Surface Pro 2, and my HP dv6t-SE, both from the official update path available to MSDN subscribers, this evening. There is, indeed, an RT installer in the zip.

I dont see how a file manager would help. I heard weed is good for that though!
