(Assuming that WP8 wasn't silently installing such updates already!)īecause Microsoft know that the general public aren't actually going to get the new OS until at least May, they have a little more time to complete apps that can be updated through the Store, even if they do ship within the initial OS image. I hope that those bug fixes will actually be released as cumulative updates similar to the Windows 8 General Availability Update Rollups, and occur more frequently than we saw with Windows Phone 8. There will be bug fixes developed as OEMs and carriers do their testing of their configurations of each device, both brand-new devices like the Lumia 630, 635 and 930, and for upgrades to WP8 devices. The OS code is final, at least in its feature set. Let’s hope so, because the Music experience has been steadily declining since the good old Zune days, and Windows Phone 8.1 certainly deserves – and needs- better in 2014. The question is, how much of an improvement will the new Xbox Music app be over this current buggy beta build? That remains to be seen, though considering how good the OS for 8.1 is, we at least have some faith that the refreshed Music app will also be much better. Also, Music app too.”Īctually, the bigger news is perhaps that 8.1 optimized apps for Facebook, Skype and Twitter are also forthcoming. “Lots of questions about apps…Many 8.1 updates coming (eg Facebook, Skype, Twitter). Last night, Microsoft head Joe Belfiore even tweeted that a new Xbox Music app was on the way: That’s good news in the sense that Microsoft is not ‘shipping’ this as the final product. It has not been optimized for 8.1, and it obviously needs some polish. The app we now have in the 8.1 Preview for Developers is, in fact, basically the old beta version released late last year.
