So, DICE announced Frostbite 2 for mobile, but only mentions iOS and Android.
No mobile Battlefield for you!

Maybe it'll play via AMD / Bluestack's AppZone

Will there even be any tablets with AMD chips at launch?
The Metro mail client is really bad. I'd say worse than the iPad mail client. Windows Mail 2012 for the desktop is okay, I guess. What features are you looking for?

The current Mail app in Windows 8 was designed by a lazy asshole.
Even if it were great, a proper e-mail client will have to have the functionality to display multiple e-mails in multiple Windows. I want a desktop mail client not a tablet one. Outlook is horrendous. MS needs to have a DESKTOP e-mail client that can properly deal with IMAP mailboxes as well as exchange. They can add a metro view to that if they wish, like IE.
It needs to be good and fast for both IMAP and Exchange accounts. Outlook is shit for IMAP (and other issues with performance), and Thunderbird is shit for Exchange.

Some one needs to develop an iOs equivalent of Bluestack.
My life would be complete.
MS really starting to get it? I don't see Apple offering their rumored streaming service across platforms.

Paul Allen wrote his thoughts about Windows 8. He has issues, but is overall positive about it.

It's hard for me to get excited by stuff like this since it'll probably be US-only, like most everything Microsoft does these days.
Seeing as we already have the Zune Pass in Canada I see no reason why the free streaming shouldn't be available. I guess we will find out.
Yeah screw the Europeans. They did not needed it in the past, they will never get it in the future.

Zune Pass is available in the UK, France, Italy and Spain.
Are you telling me there are more yuropean countries that survived WW2?
Hey, we kinda spawned both World Wars, I demand it.

Did anyone test the Splashtop Win8 app with the RTM?
So you nearly destroyed the world twice and now you want a reward for it? I don't think so.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
You have to reinstall.
Welp. Guess I'll have to find a new project this weekend and wait until the retail release. Thanks.

I just closed my desktop version and started it from the Start screen, it opened up the Metro version. Doesn't seem to work right though, I went to Neogaf and the mouse wheel didn't scroll the page. Maybe it needs to use touch?

The mouse wheel doesn't work in this version. Only touch and keyboard for scrolling.
Err... what?

Ah, I'll have to test it out on my tablet later.

Nice list of changes.
Does the e-mail app have a desktop view where you can view multiple e-mails in multiple windows or is it metro only? I have left my win8 test laptop at work.
If so, it might be the first mail client outside of Apple mail that'd work for me on the desktop.

I can't believe you couldn't manage your files before.

I was telling you guys from the very beginning that the apps had barely had any development time by the time the beta came out. They were basically 1-2 milestones behind the OS, especially considering the app platform itself was still changing pretty significantly until RC. It was obvious they didn't just suck, but were woefully incomplete and wouldn't be decently-featured until RTM

I wish they added an 'Add New Version' feature.
