Huh?
MS created it deliberately violationg the API terms of use and without collaberating or even bouncing it past Google to enure it meets minimum terms. Hence the CaD.
This has nothing to do with Google making a Win You Tube app.

So far just Sprint. AT&T says sometime in the future. Wish the unlocked 64 came in black.

Not less in touch, but more in touch with a broader scope of people. No longer the neighbors or your small town. Rather a global virtual neighborhood.
My son in law has new twins. He is playing in the Afghan sand. Through the internet, they can see and interact on some visual / auditory level – thanks to the internet.

Welcome back.
Welcome home.

Kind of like owning a TL or IS350 and the scan recommends a Camry or Volt.
Sadly lame.

When you invest too much in a racehorse (unproven) you either go with it or make dogfood.

One must not forget; their interpretation of your search results; ie. Bingified.

They would pick the paper airplane design that flies fast, flies far (based on initial velocity), and sinks very quickly.

Try a skin. I bought one from Zagg for my iPhone5 and wife’s GS3.
Shield on the front, Skin on the back, no weight or bulk – a win in my eyes.
You can even apply your own design ;-)

I swapped from iOS to Android and had little to no issues. Not the same but similar.
But ….
All my work stuff comes via MS and have no issues getting all to work just fine on my LG-E970
Outlook, OneNote, IE became Chrome, MSOffice was replaced by a number of Android suites (not GDocs), I have SkyDrive, etc… Not really any issue. One positive, was the myriad ways I could adapt / customize my phone as I wanted to, to make it more efficient for me. and yes, the One looks really good.
FYI: I have a dev edition HTC ONE coming soon.

There are times the notification bar looks like a clusterf*ck.
Then there are times it looks like nothingis really happening.
Wish there was an easy way to define what I really want to show.
My Optimus has alerts I cannot clear (ex: voicemail)

Doesn’t hold true now.
I predominately use Amazon and Google Play. Much more flexible and versatile.
If not for my iPads and work iPhone, I would dump iTunes. It never has run well under Windows. Looking back, I have bought almost no music / video via iTunes (just apps).
Never have owned an iPod – Real and Sony were my initial devices.
