Despite the fact that Twitter actively develops continues to update their app for Windows Phone, if you go to Twitter's website without being logged in, it only shows and links to iOS and Android versions of the app.
You spent time and money (well really just money because Twitter hires a vendor to make their apps) on a product and then don't do simple stuff like put a link to it next to your other versions. Why?

Teamviewer works surprisingly well if you have a great connoection.

What the hell did you do to him, son? I've put mine to hell and back and that thing is still rocking.

I got an Android 4.2 8" tablet, the Lenovo Yoga 8 ($249), as well as the Moga Hero pad. I can give more detailed impressions from a WP fan point of view later if you guys would like. In short, grass isn't greener on the other side. Each platform has their pluses and minuses.
The few sites that gave my WP browser trouble are still troublesome for Chrome mobile.
I am loving Sega's Heritage collection (Jet Set Radio, Virtual Tennis, Crazy Taxi, etc) which give me Dreamcast quality gaming with the Moga. On the downside, games like Madden 25, Fifa 14, Real Racing 3 don't support control pads.
Oh, I miss the ability to pin shit.
I'll probably buy my GF an 8" W8 tablet soon too.

Yeah, it looks great. I've been in the process of backing up all my pics to Skydrive.
I'll admit it, I LOLed.
Sorry for going OT again, but this is a really fascinating read:

I vote Allard as head of MS, bringing in Moore as his right hand man
I've been wondering about the correct way to spin this article.
Is it "This shows how the culture at the Xbox team has changed from hardcore gamers trying to give other gamers a no-compromise product to businessmen trying to help out their company"?
Or is it "The type of person who didn't see the potential of Xbox Live is the same type of person who can't understand the importance of Xbone's future-focused feature-set".

loving the 1020
The 1020 is a beast. I picked up a Nexus 7 and I put my full res 1020 shots as the backgrounds. Looks better than the ones I get from play store apps. 1080p screen is gorgeous and the photos just pop with the crazy details only this phone captures.

Windows phone doesn't exist for some people
Spent a bit of time in at&t stores this weekend and the "consensus was" that many people don't like windows phone.... yea.... could it be because people in the stores tell people that whenever they start shopping *geez*
Doubtful if most people tried a windows phone that "most" wouldn't like it

Windows Phone is still looked at as the failed Windows Mobile and Nokia is still looked at as the forgotten feature phone maker left behind by Apple and Google.
I've been rather surprised how many people have been asking if that's the new Nokia, regarding my 920 lately. No its not new, but I guess the new part is they've been hearing about it. 😃

Some random app thoughts:
Plonk is a wine app that's a perfect example of an app that's quite pretty (and probably kinda useful, I'm not a wine drinker), but is so obviously an iOS app, it's just annoying. Can't use the back button, menu button in the top left corner...
Social Scene is a neat idea, although I guess its functionality is kinda covered by stuff like Foursquare. Basically, you take a pic at a spot, and it gets added to that spot's slideshow. So it's kind of a crowdsourced time-lapse. I feel like it's gonna be killed by a lack of users though...
youmigo is an app that I just signed up for the beta for. It lets you ask questions to users in specific regions. So kind of a cultural discovery app. Gonna see if it works, because I like the idea.

On the one hand, I got some good comments when I pulled out my phone the other day with some coworkers. On the other hand, 90% of the smartphones I see in the courthouse are iPhones, and 100% of the tablets I see are iPads, despite the fact that lawyers could really benefit from a functional Office app.

So I am kinda in the market for a new phone. It would need to last at least 2 years. I am thinking the 1020. But that camera is huge. I really want the 929 but I don't think it's ever gonna come to Canada.
Here is hoping free Unity for MS ecosystems and the whole ID@xbox take off.

I wonder if the 2020 will be the first tablet running Windows Phone. It will be interesting to see.

Rovio been great to WP as of late so yeah, hope it continues.
@Zeknurn
It's Windows RT for sure. Maybe the last RT product Nokia will make before being absorbed by MS.

I need that 8-inch tablet. Unless the rumored Surface Mini has those specs and comes with stylus support.
But I really need day stylus support in an 8 inch tablet.
Because I heard of a Nokia mini tablet running RT before and this seems to match.
And quite honestly, I don't see Nokia making 8 inch WP. I mean, what's the point of RT/Windows 8 then? Actually...I don't think MS even know lol.

I've always wondered how hard it is to do location aware profiles on phones? When I'm at home I want different settings on my phone than at home or when I'm out. I'm surprised we don't have that already.
Doesn't Aviate cover some of that?
About as hard as independent volume controls
Hopefully we get something like that in 8.1. Would be good for battery if stuff like WiFi and Bluetooth could enable/disable on its own.Really? Great news. 6sec is weaksauce now. It doesn't have the "Ghost" functionality, which is great when you're trying to do stop-motion. It saddens me that I already pay for unlimited 6sec uploads, but I think I'll be dumping it now.
6tag, on the other side, beats the shit out of any Instagram app out there. I love downloading pictures haha
I just watch Vines, so I will just be comparing the performance of each.

I've been crying for location aware WiFi forever. I would love for my phone to automatically turn my WiFi on when I'm at home or at the office. My old blackberry curve did this 5 yrs ago.

The link for Vine. Not quite working yet though.
