Windows Phone users now have a native app to reserve cabs and black cars using Uber. The new app, released today for Windows Phone 7.8 and Windows Phone 8, allows users in cities where Uber operates to track nearby cars available for hire, set a pickup, and pay using a credit card, just like the Android and iPhone apps that have been out for quite some time. Before today, Windows Phone users had to use a mobile website to take advantage of Uber's services. Beyond Windows Phone, the company also released its first BlackBerry app earlier this month (though it doesn't support BlackBerry 10), and it gave its Android app a complete overhaul last week that brings it up to snuff with Uber's iPhone app.
