well this is Dan Seaford with the verge and we are taking a look at the HTC One m8 for Windows it is quite literally an HTC One m8 running Windows Phone it's the exact same hardware as the Android version that was released earlier this year it's got the same single unibody metal frame same 5-inch 1080p display the same duo camera on the back with a four megapixel ultra ultra pixel camera it's also got the IR port up top here as well quite literally the exact same hardware as the Android version but it is running Windows Phone 8.1 Update which is the latest software from Microsoft it's got Cortana built in it's got various tweaks to the Start screen here you can have folders and things like that you can hide the on-screen buttons here so it's a latest software for Microsoft it also has a couple of things that HTC has added to support the duo camera and the other unique hardware features on the m8 HTC has built its own camera app which will look really familiar to you if you are familiar or if used with the Android version the camera app supports the same type of after-the-fact features that you can do with the duo camera on Android it's got the you focus and the foreground ER and the 3d dimension things so you can tap to refocus using you focus just like you can on Android HTC is also included it's blinkfeed service it's now an app that's on the Start screen but it looks pretty much the same as it does on Android and then finally HTC is also built its Sense TV app for Windows now so it supports the IR port on the top of the m8 so you can program your TV and cable box in there and use the device as a remote the HTC One m8 from windows is available starting today from Verizon's website or you can pick it up in Verizon stores tomorrow and it's priced at $99 with a two-year contract you you
