Ordered replacement SIM reader for my Omnia 7 after I managed to shred the pins off it with the micro SIM adaptor. Repair looks quite easy. about 3 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone

@cainullah all good thanks, summer is the most exciting time in the solar industry. :) about 10 hours ago via Microsoft in reply to cainullah
@cainullah ok thanks, thought I'd seen tweet to say it had. Marketplace is generally slower these days I believe. Good to hear from you. :) about 12 hours ago via Microsoft in reply to cainullah
@manan thanks for the RT. Surely any existing devs trying/making money have purchased VS or have MSDN sub? Why not push new devs to Metro? about 12 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone
@cainullah any reason why I'm still not seeing Birdsong v1.7 in the marketplace? about 12 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone
+1 such great a show RT @PaulRandal: Just watched last episode of House - an 8 year cycle of my life ends. I'll miss the cranky old bastard. about 12 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone

RT @josefajardo: If you deliver web apps and need to target IE on Windows 8, you should read this : bit.ly/JOi7Dr about 13 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone
@HuntHenning @TheRomit @josefajardo I think this creates consumer confusion. Why doesn't this flash site work in Metro IE when others do? about 13 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to HuntHenning
I wonder how many devs are actually affected by not being able to create desktop apps using free VS11 Express? Mountain out of molehills? about 13 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone
@treestman agreed. Also feel for most consumers a 24 hour delay is acceptable since they'll be no worse off & most updates aren't critical. about 18 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to treestman
Feel sorry for those scammed but good that people become aware that Android marketplace is like this. bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/18182… about 18 hours ago via Microsoft
@treestman for example the updated @wpcentral app was notified through my marketplace tile. How critical are these app updates though? about 18 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to treestman
@treestman agreed needs to improve. Could be recent marketplace changes are impacting tile notification. I normally see tile within 24 hours about 18 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to treestman
@treestman I estimate almost all my updates get found that way, only exceptions are the twitter accounts I follow so I go looking for them. about 18 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to treestman
@treestman yes tile only refreshes periodically so it is possible an update is out before counter shows. So delayed but does work for me. about 18 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to treestman
@treestman only way is to keep marketplace pinned but agree there should be a better way. about 19 hours ago via rowi for Windows Phone in reply to treestman
