Hi Peter and all,
The problem is, nobody uses Windows phone 8, not even sighted people use it.
Microsoft is trying to chase Apple and Android, and they're failing, 
miserably.
The way Microsoft is going with not only Windows phone 8, and just with 
windows 8, they won't be around in a few years.
Apple and Android are the future.
Harry
