I really wish MS could force mobile games to include achievements. I would play so many more if they did.

FourSquare's a social network based on 'checking in' to locations. I remember Woz using it a lot in the past, not sure he still does now.

The Instagram thing is a Twitter limitation. They took the Instagram preview out few years ago, after twitter allowed you to upload your pictures through their own service.

That's 2 more then zero!
Yes, but other Twitter apps show them in-app and don't require you to go to the browser.

Well I've just installed five apps.
That's more than I ever really installed on Android so now I'm winning! >_>

has calmed down a bit.
Yes, these are apps we've had before and there's still no snapchat and Instagram is dragging their feet and Messenger is taking forever etc......
All that said, these uwp apps are really nice, the twitter app is fast, fluid, impressive. I also had almost 20 app updates this morning, from 1st and 3rd party apps. The production build has been stable and had real fixes. I don't know, I feel like we've started to turn a corner after all the negativity of the last month.

Only third-party apps I believe. Insta pictures don't show in-app on the web or iOS and Android apps either.

Yes, and then even more.
I mean, seriously. Build? More like LPGN 2016.
Lofty Promises Going Nowhere 2016.
Is that fair?

has calmed down a bit.
Yes, that's a bug I had with Redstone. As to how to fix it, you know the answer already.

So with W10 apps coming to X1 in the summer...does this potentially mean that X1 apps, like HBO Go, Amazon Instant Video, Twitch, etc., are coming to W10M?

no Surface Phone rumors?

Probably not, but what is?
Is it fair having to witness what the platform was in 2010 and what it has become in 2016?
Those apps would be Windows 8.1 apps and not W10 apps.
That one's getting Mini'd.

We probably won't hear about it until they're absolutely forced to put it into the carrier's hands, so not for a while.

don't really know anything about build. Take that as a good thing. Last year I knew nothing! Perhaps my latest team will be demoing something, not quite sure though if we are.

I think Xbox apps are actually 8.0 apps (Xbox was on 6.2 before the Windows 10 update, 6.3 is Windows 8.1).
Yes.

There's a possibility, but they need to update those apps to UWP and then allow desktop and mobile users. So probably they do it themselves or Microsoft forces their hands with an API update, but there's also the option of making them Xbox exclusives. It's a developer decision.
I don't think blocking the upgrade behind an app will do wonders for the update rate. Is this to bypass the carriers?

Is that like a retail-ish build?
This is the official release.

Ah. What version is it? Is there an advantage to going from Slow Ring to official release? Will it be more stable/better battery/etc?

I don't know I really don't follow this as well as you guys haha. Though I can't even find the app so I'm gonna guess that Verizon is blocking it for my Icon.

It seems the x20 series won't be getting W10M. What a shame, it ran great on my old 820.
I wonder why they didn't allow the 1+ GB WP8 devices.

This is just the first wave. I've seen a lot of people jumping to conclusions over this.

Interesting. Are the interesting bits going to be coming in Redstone Wave 1?
OK so maybe the likes of the 920 won't get W10M http://www.windowscentral.com/micro...ows-10-mobile-rollout-affects-insider-members
I have the latest build on my backup 920 and I think it runs acceptably. Again ms is leaving people behind especially those on a former flagship and one of the better sold lumias. They deserve the backlash that will happen.
It's a 3 1/2 year old phone. At some point devices need cutting off. 42 or so months of OS updates is something just about every owner of a smart phone can only dream of.
Leaving people behind? Backlash? Come on. If there's a backlash people should be told to get to fuck.
