Top 5 Windows Phone wishes for 2014

2014-01-22
now even though Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system may not be the best one out there when it comes to sales there is no denial that a lot of us at PocketNow do love the UI and do love the whole Windows Phone ecosystem precisely because of its minimalism great camera quality and lots of features that we do love still there are a ton of things that we wish we saw in 2014 so I'm hi mera neta this is pocket now these are the wishes that we have for Windows Phone in 2014 number 5 is actually two things the list was kind of big so bear with me here first of all we need more players and we mean top players Samsung and HTC did a fabulous job in pushing Windows Phone even before Nokia came to the bandwagon and now Nokia is everything related to Windows Phone these companies don't really care about the platform anymore and that is really unfortunate as we do need a bigger push when it comes to the platform and aside from that we do need some better tablet integration one of the biggest issues with Windows Phone it's not really an issue but it is more of a wish is the fact that there is no benefit in owning a windows phone and an owning a windows tablet and that should be the other way around they should talk to each other the applications that i buy for Windows Phone should work on Windows RT are there should be a variant on Windows RT that talks to this application and a way for me not to buy two things at the same time so i guess you understand where i'm going with the fact of better tablet integration as well number four is better commitment to legacy devices a lot of you that bought the original windows phone 7 devices are not getting any more software updates even features like xbox music are not working on your phones and this is really unfortunate people can't really buy a phone every year and there are 10 of people out there that are trying to buy phones at a very affordable price and if you think about the fact that windows phone is more targeted to the budget audience then you get to understand that these people are the ones that most need a platform that will support their old legacy bones but as it turns out I have a beautiful dell venue pro that can't get any updates anymore I have a great HTC Titan as well that can't get any updates as well and a lot of people said that of course this had to do with the platform evolving into you know dual-core processor is everything but whatever happened to Windows Phone 7.8 and again it's just the fact that Microsoft is not really commit to legacy customers and what this is doing is killing the platform going forward as people lose trust in windows phone number three is timely launches can anybody tell me where is Windows Phone 8.1 we've got Kit Kat in the market we have iOS 7 where is Windows Phone 8.1 a lot of people are asking for this end a second that it's the fact that we get announcements for Windows Phone in January for them to be launched in the fall these are the things we can understand why Microsoft is so sluggish and actually bringing support and grow to their own platform they're doing a good job when those filled is a great operating system but we do have the problem that people are not going to wait eight months for an update people are not going to be waiting 11 10 months for phone it doesn't work that way competition is too fierce for Microsoft to be so sluggish number two has to do with applications but not really what you think I do believe that Microsoft and its partners have done a fabulous job in getting the applications that we need on the platform but then there is another problem for example if you're looking for Instagram you will find Instagram but then there are a ton of alternatives out there then if you look for Spotify there is Spotify beta but then there are a ton of alternative out there and you're looking for a game in the game of stop there you get the alternatives but that doesn't really tell you that the game is not there so there is a lot of clutter in the app store but ton of applications that don't really serve any purpose it tells you that there is no control in the app store there is even some weird porn in the app store at times and again there just needs to be a real clean up on the app store and this would actually make the app store more prestigious you don't really need a hundred thousand applications you don't really need the volume you needed the key applications and they are now there and the top number one feature that we wish would have offer Windows Phone in 2014 is the UI a lot of people don't really like Windows Phone or Windows 8 for that matter all of us at pocket now do but then when I show it to a friend and most of my friends consider it to be too stale for some reason yeah they see all the flashiness of galaxy phones all that lighting there then they see all the crazy colors in iOS and they do consider Windows Phone to be stale and I don't feel that I don't agree with that but obviously I'm not part of general population if you get what I mean and as I think that there are a ton of UI elements that need to evolve for example the People Hub it is completely obsolete there are a ton of these hubs that are great they're great concepts and they worked really great for windows phone 7 3 years ago but now they are completely obsolete compared to where you could really do with facebook right now for example so there does need to be a dramatic overhaul in the UI and the services and we're hoping that that's the reason why there is so much delay in Windows Phone 8.1 but that leads me to the question of this top 5 what would you personally change from Windows Phone what would you like because in my particular case I would like the option to at least have a wallpaper behind the life tiles i want the lifetimes to stay I just want there to be some sort of you know glass some sort of design elements that make it look more elegant but leave us a
