Wake up you quiet lot! Something happening in the Windows Phone world again. :)

 

What are you looking forwards to in Windows 10? Personally I am keen on the idea of unified apps finally combining the Windows Phone Store and general Windows Store together. Maybe with the push at BETT this year towards Windows on tablets we might see more apps being made?

 

Free upgrade too! No news on which handsets get the free update however, I'd expect low end handsets may be omitted. Will find out soon, already in the Developer Preview so might get the update through like with 8.1 (but who isn't in the dev preview?)

Dev preview here too, with a Lumia 920. Fingers crossed it's new enough to get in on the Windows 10 beta goodness, although I already know I won't be able to have the "Hey Cortana!" working, which makes me sad :(

 

(Edit for more info in case anyone's interested, only the Lumias 930, 1520 and Icon will be able to have Hey Cortana out of the current phones, as it relies on some tech that only exists in the new Snapdragon processors they use: "Hey Cortana" Not Coming to All Lumias? Only >1GB SensorCore Enabled? (1520, 930/Icon) - Geek on Gadgets : Geek on Gadgets)

Nope, no date yet :(

 

"While we’re making good progress, we need more time to deliver the optimal experience for mobile devices and you can expect Windows 10 Mobile to release broadly later this year. We’re incorporating lots of the great feedback from Insiders, so keep it coming!" said Gabe Aul, head of the Windows Insider program.

 

To be honest, I actually had to roll back to 8 a few months ago. 10 was waaay too slow and kept freezing on my phone. I know it's probably more stable by now, but I'm reluctant to go back to the TP. Think I'll stick with 8 until the actual launch now.
