Great stuff, very smooth and nice transition effects. BB10 is much more innovative than WP8 and deserves 3rd place.

Are you telling me that 20 years old icons (apple creations) is better than brand new live tile?

live tiles are wrong implementation of widgets Wendy.

the information in live tiles is scattered and difficult to managed, not customizable and incomplete.

and they are distracting too.

I personally think live tile is simple, and informative... However in widget, only clock widget is useful, the rest are very manual and you need to update yourself, live tile update themselves when your data is on... I own android and my friend own lumias and I can tell that...

just sayin...

if you use WP phone as a toy live tiles are fun Wendy.

I've used Live Tiles on my Windows 8 PC for their intended purpose exactly 0 times. They're that frustrating medium between a widget and an icon: they don't show enough information to be an effective widget, and they take up a clumsy amount of space as an icon.

In pc, yes it's totally frustrating coz I experienced it, but on tablet, things getting different :)

25. Commentator posted on 16 Jan 2013, 03:00

How so? My laptop has a touchscreen, so I'm able to use it as a tablet if I want to. It still doesn't change that the information displayed by the Tiles isn't usually helpful at all.
