Today is the final day that WinPhone 8.1 is supported. If you have one it’s time to put it in ‘the draw’.
Win 10 mobile is still supported, but only makes up 20% of the small amount of All the Win phones out there.

Side note, I see we don’t have a win mobile section. Judging by the new above, I don’t think we should bother.
July 12, 2017 at 1:15 pm #10113I played about with a Lumia for a while and then sold it. I thought the OS was very nice to use, but app support was awful…..but amazingly not as awful as its integration with your windows home network – which was much, much worse than either Android or iOS.
July 12, 2017 at 2:05 pm #10115I got a cheap lumia with a cheap tablet (tesco job) and i also liked the os, it worked really well on a really under spec’d phone. So I bet it was great on a higher end stuff especially with the great cameras they had back then compared to Android and ios.
But that app store was terrible. Hundreds upon hundreds of fake apps, the search never worked so you couldn’t find the few ligit apps that made it over.
Also Google never helped, not releasing any native apps. Given the states, that the majority of Apple users, use the Google apps over the ios equivalents, it was a non starter not having them.
I bet ms come to regret the whole ‘scroogled’ campaign.

I had a funny thought the other day. So the english language is a bout x2 the size of french. Could the likes of cortana, siri type ai machines be detromental on our massivley broad language.
The frogs actually control there languge, its not allowed to evole like ours. Heaven forbid ai doing the same.
July 13, 2017 at 4:37 pm #10162Speaking of French language. In Canada they have their own separate “French language Council” that is even stricter than the actual French language council “.
I see it being very similar to the likes of Gibraltar, where they more British in their britishness, than us natives. Northern Ireland is similar. The one that want to be British that is.
But to Keith’s question, computers the Internet, and by extension AI is going to eventually have us all speaking a version on ‘chinglish’ eventually.
It won’t be defined by the AI, as that learns from what we input to it, but the likes of AI with propagate the universal language.
July 14, 2017 at 1:09 pm #10191So W phone come wit 2 browsers being mobile and desk top. Since the bbc got mardy the mobile browser no longer works with the iplayer but the desk top one does so long as you log in!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
