#LUMINA 520 WINDOWS 10 UPDATE#
If Microsoft were serious about using Windows 10 to save Windows Phone, the company would have made sure that there were plenty of new apps available for Windows 10 at launch, to drum up interest in Windows Phone when the Windows 10 update comes to mobile. That’s not about to change with Windows 10. Even though Windows has hundreds of millions of users worldwide, and is by far the dominant PC operating system, developers haven’t flocked to write what were once called Metro-style apps (and are now called, among other things, Universal Windows apps). And you won’t find them in the Windows Store either. These apps certainly aren’t anything that would make me, or almost anyone else, want to give up an iPhone or Android phone just so I can run them.Įven more to the point, you won’t find new, knock-your-socks-off apps from third-party developers built into Windows 10. Google Calendar serves me well, so I don’t need a new calendar. I don’t need apps to find news, sports and recipes - I’ve got the Web for that. The mail app isn’t as good as Gmail, especially Google Inbox. But I won’t be using any of them on Windows 10, and I’m sure I’m not alone. There’s a useful calendar, a well-done mail app, nice sports, news, and food and drink apps, and a few more as well. Only a handful of Windows apps ship with Windows 10. And other Windows apps you can download from the Windows Store won’t get anyone to switch from iOS or Android to the Windows 10 version of Windows Phone. Here’s the problem, though: The Windows apps built into Windows 10 are far from spectacular.
#LUMINA 520 WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE#
If somebody wants to know whether I'm committed to Windows Phone, they should think about what I just did with the free upgrade to Window.” That is the reason why I made that decision.
… If anything, the free upgrade for Windows 10 is meant to improve our phone position. It's because a billion consumers are going to have a Start Menu, which is going to have your app. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made that explicit when he told ZDNet, “The reason why anybody would want to write universal apps is not because of our three percent share in phones. And Microsoft believes those Universal Windows apps will draw users to Windows Phone in droves. With Windows 10, Universal Windows apps written for traditional computers will also run on phones. Apps sell phones, and one of Windows Phone’s major drawbacks has been that the operating system has far fewer useful apps than iOS and Android. Microsoft is betting that those Universal apps will be what saves Windows Phone.
