Windows Phone, Microsoft’s smartphone platform has ground out its place at the mobile table employing a combination of tenacity, marketing dollars, improving firmware, and, at last, a world-class device lineup.
It has not been an easy road for Microsoft, who launched Windows Phone 7 Series straight from the ashes of Kin, a time in which your uncle had more credibility in the mobile market. It came to the public nearly 2 years before Windows 8 did the same, for perspective.
And yet, following the release of Windows Phone 8 at the end of last year, along with new hardware from Nokia that could match, at last, rival devices, Windows Phone has outlasted BlackBerry, made market share progress, bolstered its app store depth, and has more or less become the accepted third place mobile platform.
Or, as Paul Thurrott wrote recently, “We’re number three. And no, that doesn’t suck.” But is that right?
The Struggle
It is something like vindication to see Windows Phone walk on its own two feet. If you were around when user interface experiments landed on Zune helped set the groundwork for much of Windows Phone’s GUI, there is a historical element at play in this narrative.
And, personally, I loved the idea behind Windows Phone the first time we got a taste, eventually calling for Microsoft to release a Windows Phone tablet in the pre-Windows 8 days. They did, but they called it Surface.
Still, we need to be careful. That Microsoft has answered the ”can we beat BlackBerry and become an accepted mobile player” question aside, most of its work still remains ahead of the company.
As Thurrott notes, Windows Phone ended 2012 with 2.8% global market share. It is concluding 2013 with 3.6%, a mere 28.57% increase in a year that we in the media are generally heralding as pivotal in the best possible sense for the company.
So, what gives? The mobile market is growing, and while Windows Phone is growing more quickly — hence its market share improvements — it is hardly tearing up the charts, and Android is increasingly taking on the mantle of smartphone hegemon.
Android
Thurrott details the precise issue that I think could constrain Windows Phone’s forward momentum, perhaps lowering a ceiling onto to how far it can grow in 2014 and beyond:
2013 was, alas, the year that Android became the Windows of the mobile world. Android surpassed 80 percent market share in Q3, which was a big story.
I completely agree with the above.
Here’s a question that you should have an answer to: If Android can show up late to Apple’s game, and utterly crush its market share around the world, what chance does the scrappy, and far smaller Windows Phone have?
It depends on what we decide to call success. Surely 5% market share is not success for Microsoft. 10% could be, but Apple won’t cede that space, and still builds the best smartphone hardware, while Android has been all but unstoppable in recent years. I again agree with Thurrott here, who says “Windows Phone needs double digit market share globally before we can truly declare success.”

According to a report by GSM Arena, firm Kantar reported that Windows Phone managed to keep pace with its competitors and held its ground during November.
As usual, the Microsoft-powered operating system did well in Europe, especially in Italy and surprisingly in the lucrative US market. However, Google's Android is still the uncontested winner as far as smartphone sales is concerned.
Google's brainchild topped the charts in most parts of the world save from the United States and Japan where Apple's iOS was also dominating.

Multi-Platform Updates
Viber
This week's update brings the ability to make VoIP phone calls to any phone number, landline or mobile, for an allegedly low rate (calls to other app users are free). The app also displays your phone number on caller ID, so your far-flung friends need not know you're calling them on the cheap, and the app is 100% free, no ads involved. [Android] [iOS]
Socl
Microsoft's try at social media (it's even pronounced "social" — get it?) has a new app for Android, iOS and naturally, Windows Phone. The search-based social network focuses on the visuals, letting you create collages and respond to others' images by making your own changes. Let's see where this one goes. [Android] [iOS] [Windows Phone]
Android
Convert Everything
This is one of those rare, pleasant apps that does just one thing, and does it exactly the way you'd want it to. Think of a parameter — seriously, any unit, be it shoe size or kinematic viscosity. Convert Everything will let you convert between standard units of measure with ease. The lite version is ad-supported, but if you work in a field where you've got to juggle standard and metric, this app will totally justify itself. [Free]
Cover (beta)
A smart lockscreen that promises to give you the right apps for whatever you're doing, Cover gives you quick app access based on the time of day and your location. It's also got a smooth single-swipe app switching function to make for quick navigation. [Free]
Android Device Manager
Android's formerly desktop-only device locator now has an accompanying phone and tablet app. Like the desktop version, the app shows you where your misplaced device is, and offers to blast its ringer, change the lockscreen password, or nuke it entirely. Now you can use your Android to find your other Android. [Free]
iOS
Peek
This brand-new app helps you find the best things to do in a bunch of major U.S. cities, London and Paris. Start by taking a quiz to determine your "travel persona", then browse activities by category, neighborhood, or date. Offline browsing even lets you figure out what you're going to do while you're in the subway. [Free]
Pandora Radio
The popular streaming music app's iOS 7 update brings fresh new design, and perhaps most importantly, the return of the alarm clock feature. Now you can wake up to a genre, not just a specific song like iOS's built-in alarm clock. [Free]
Fiverr
Fiverr, the anything-for-five-bucks freelance marketplace just rolled out this app that lets you hire yourself or someone else to do the things you need done. It's even got in-app direct messaging and push notifications to ensure you never miss out on a gig. [Free]
Windows Phone
MetroMail
Expand
Finally, a slick third-party Gmail client designed from the start for WP! MetroMail brings unbroken conversation threads, easy organization and plenty of options to search and archive old messages. [$1.50]

Leaked screenshots from the upcoming 8.1 release of Windows Phone suggest that the mobile OS is following Android’s lead by moving its navigation buttons from the physical to the virtual. A screengrab tweeted by notable mobile rumormonger @evleaks shows the back, Start and search buttons sitting at the bottom of the software interface, whereas they currently exist as capacitive buttons on today’s Windows Phone handsets.
The screenshot confirms earlier rumors posted by The Verge, who said that “sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans” suggested the company was moving towards Android-style navigation keys built into the software rather than the hardware. Part of the reasoning behind the move is that it reduces manufacturing costs for handset makers. Microsoft is believed to be pushing both HTC and Samsung to develop a fresh series of Windows Phones.
While the picture provided by @evleaks doesn’t shed much light on the look and feel of Windows Phone 8.1, it is interesting to note the likely change in navigation. The operating system should be unveiled at the BUILD 2014 conference, which is running from April 2-4 next year. Anticipated new features include a revamped notification center, Skype improvements and a ‘Cortana’ personal assistant to take on Google Now and Siri.
Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform continues to lag well behind the Android and iOS juggernauts, but if enough big name apps can persuaded to join Instagram in making the jump over, the OS can at least consolidate third place. Microsoft Threshold, the next major update cycle in the pipeline from Redmond, is expected to tie Windows and Windows Phone more closely together.

Design
The Lumia 525 shares the same design aesthetic as other Lumia handsets. If you like how theLumia 1020 looks, the 525 is a smaller version, with the same bright yellow rear. Unlike the 1020, though, the 525's rear cover and 1,430mAh battery are replaceable. If you don't like yellow, there's a choice of four other cover colors you can swap in: blue, red, white, and black.

The volume rocker, power, and camera buttons are located on the left side; the Micro-USB jack is located at the bottom. It packs a 5-megapixel camera, but take note that the budget handset lacks a flash.
I wasn't too impressed with the screen, which is a 4-inch IPS display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. I especially wasn't impressed when it was placed next to the Lumia 1520. The display appeared sunken in, and not as vibrant. That said, you can use the display with your nails or when wearing gloves.
Features
While the Lumia 525 has the same specs as the Lumia 520, Nokia has upgraded it with twice the RAM. It now has 1GB, which should help with multitasking. The smartphone comes with 8GB of onboard storage, and has a microSD card slot for expandability.

The Lumia 525 is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and will launch with the Nokia Lumia Black update package, which includes the latest version of Windows Phone 8.
Other free apps include Here Maps, Here Drive, and Here Transit; Nokia says Transit now works for public transportation in Singapore, though real-time bus times are still being worked on.
Don't expect the stellar imaging prowess of the higher-end Lumia handsets, but the 5-megapixel camera of the 525 should be able to do well in bright daylight. As mentioned earlier, there's no flash, so if you need to light up your subject, you're out of luck.

24me
iOS; free
Often the challenge is not executing your to-do list, it’s creating the list in the first place.24me solves that problem by automating the process. With help from the Check.meservice, 24me integrates with hundreds of U.S. banks and thousands of utility and service providers such as Comcast and AT&T. By accessing your accounts, it will determine when your bills are due and populate your calendar with reminders.
Shifu
Android; free
The problem with to-do lists is that you have to remember to look at them and keep them updated. Shifu uses your location and phone usage patterns to proactively push reminders to your screen at the right moments.
You can set reminders based upon your Wi-Fi connection, location, who you’re talking with or how much time you have. For example, you can have Shifu remind you to download apps, movies, or music the next time you connect to your Wi-Fi network, or to pick up printer toner the next time it sees you’re at Best Buy.
Assistant
iOS, Android, and Windows Phone; free
Assistant stands out if you prefer using voice commands and responses. The app can brief you at the same time every day on upcoming calendar events, current news headlines, and even the weather.
Tell Assistant you want Mexican food or pizza, and it will summon Yelp listings according to your location. It’ll even read the names of the restaurants, tell you the star ratings, and let you know the distance from your location. Just tap a mute button when you’ve heard enough.
Sherpa
Android; free
“Ask and ye shall receive” pretty well describes Sherpa. You can tell Sherpa to send someone a text message or post to Facebook or Twitter. Ask it to update you on current events, and it pushes you to Google News. Enquire how a particular NFL team is doing and it will audibly share the final scores from the most recent game. You can have Sherpa notify you when your favorite teams score and when social media activities arise, such as Facebook friends’ birthdays and mentions on Twitter. It will also tell you when the weather is getting worse and let you know when you miss a call.
Mynd
iOS; free
Mynd is a context-aware calendar iOS app with a beautiful user interface. Using location awareness, it can automatically associate places with tasks or events. For example, if it detects your phone is always at the gym when your calendar says “spin class,” Mynd will add your gym location to all your spin-class dates.
How is this helpful? Transit time, for one thing. If it’s 4:30 p.m. and your spin class is at 5:30, but Mynd knows heavy traffic will extend your drive time to 35 minutes, it will calculate how much earlier you have to leave and adjust its alerts accordingly.

Ever since Microsoft started forcing Windows Live Messenger users over to Skype earlier this year, instant messaging on Windows has been somewhat painful. If you’re a frequent Skype user then you’ll be intimately familiar with the problems. Missed messages, out-of-sync messages, and blasts of old messages are all too frequent on the service at the moment, but Microsoft is vowing to fix the issues.
In an interview with The Verge, Skype product manager Jeff Kunins admits Microsoft is aware of the problems and is working to address them very soon. They mainly stem from Microsoft’s transition from peer-to-peer networks for Skype to cloud-powered servers. Skype has traditionally been used for voice and video calling on desktop PCs, but as the world has moved to mobile Skype hasn’t adapted its own infrastructure quickly enough to handle multiple devices. "It’s not that we’ve been trying our best to be amazing at chat for 10 year and sucking at it, it’s that we’ve been doing a great job doing what we were born to do and now people want more out of us and we’re making the investments to expand and be great at that too," explains Kunins. "We’re not there yet, but we will be."
Microsoft is testing a number of updates to its client apps that will enable full message-sync across multiple devices, including whether a message is read or unread. Kunins demonstrated updated versions of Windows Phone and Windows desktop apps that will properly sync messages and only trigger notifications on the active device. "You’ll see us very soon begin rolling that out so users get the benefit of cloud history, synced read state across all of your devices," says Kunins.
The sync support means that notifications for messages will trigger on all devices connected to a Skype account, but notifications will only continue on the device that’s active and in use. At present notifications will trigger on all devices connected to Skype constantly, a headache for users with a Windows PC, tablet, and phone. Kunins couldn’t provide an exact date for the rollout of the improvements, but he promises it’s "pretty soon." The improvements worked flawlessly in a demo between mobile and PC, where read state was synced promptly between the two.
Skype also suffers from problems syncing call states, meaning some devices will continue ringing even if another device has picked up the call. While that problem won’t be fixed at the same time as messaging, it’s something Microsoft is working to fix. "That’s just a fun bug we’re working on," explains Kunins. "It’s one of those that seems like it should be trivial, but it’s actually quite hard, especially on some platforms like Windows 8 or on the web."
Microsoft is also improving the load times on its Skype Windows Phone app alongside better notifications, but additional improvements are coming next year. "I don’t think we’ve talked publicly a bunch about Windows Phone 8.1 and the experience, but as you can imagine we’re certainly working closely with them and how that experience is," explains Kunins. "We’ve made a ton of progress on our Windows Phone app in general, and as you can imagine we’re doing a lot of fun things for Windows Phone 8.1 as well. I think there will be some fun things to see there."
While improvements are on the way. Kunins took some time to reflect on the recent rollout of Skype Video Messaging. Microsoft chose to target Mac, iPhone, and Android usersinitially, leaving Windows and Windows Phone users without support for a couple of months. "That was purely coincidence, it looks very bad," explains Kunins. "It was just completely honest coincidence based on the fact that historically that sequence didn’t matter at all." Now that Skype is part of Microsoft, that sequence matters more than ever. "On things like that, we’ll just do a better job at when we start things," says Kunin.

The Windows Phone app market may still have some catching up to do but it looks like Steve Ballmer’s “developers” chant is finally starting to work its magic. Strategy Analytics has released a new survey of more than 1,600 mobile app developers that shows 32% of them plan to support Windows Phone next year. While this is still far below the percentages of developers who say they’ll support iOS (68%) and Android (84%) next year, it’s a marked improvement from the 16% of developers who supported Windows Phone in 2013.
“It seems that Windows Phone looks set to become the third ecosystem, as predicted by Elop in the infamous ‘burning platform’ memo,” says Strategy Analytics analyst David MacQueen. ”In contrast, support for Symbian next year is slightly under 2% of our developer panel.”
BlackBerry fared less well in the survey and essentially remained in stasis with just over 10% of developers saying they’d support the platform next year. In fact, BlackBerry is even in danger of being eclipsed by Firefox OS for developer interest, as Strategy Analytics found that 10% of developers plan to support Mozilla’s open-source platform next year.

The Instagram app that Nokia announced was coming at its Nokia World conference last month has finally landed, although it is very much still work in progress, appearing in the Windows Store as Instagram Beta.
The Beta tag lets users know that they shouldn't expect all the bell and whistles of Instagram's iOS and Android apps. At present, video capture and video upload are both missing from the Instagram Windows Phone 8 app, as are photo and location tagging.
Instagram said that it wanted to get the app out to users as quickly as possible, so a few features had to be left out of the first iteration.
Still, we've got Instagram up and running on our Nokia Lumia 1020, and all of the other features you'd expect are present in the app. There's the ability to upload an image from Camera Roll, or to turn the app into a camera lens, a feature that many thought was missing due to the odd button placement in the app.
All of the usual filters are present in the app, including XPro-II, Earlybird, Rise, Amaro, Hudson, Lo-fi, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Nashville and 1977, as are linear and radial tilt-shift options for blurring images and the option to comment on images of your friends' dinners.
Instagram Beta is available to download for free from the Windows Store, and although it is missing a number of features it has already received a four and a half star rating from keen downloaders.
The arrival of Instagram sees Microsoft further boosting its Windows Store with more big name apps, with the hipster photo sharing app coming out just days after Twitter's Vine and Channel 4's 4OD TV catch-up service. Waze is also now available on the Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system, and Microsoft claims that more popular apps will be arriving soon.

‘Cute Spotify‘, by Mike Sheldon, and currently under development, uses freely accessible APIs to power the native app – created using the Ubuntu SDK.
Spotify already provide an official, native desktop client for the Linux desktop.
Music playback, album art, and other core features are present and working in Sheldon’s app. Unfortunately for music fans, getting the player installed isn’t nearly as simple as using it.
The app is not yet available from the Apps Scope, requiring manual compiling and a custom Spotify API key to be set prior to installation – something out of the reach of regular users.
But, with it being early days for both the app and the platform it’s aimed at, such barriers to entry can be overlooked.
You can see Cute Spotify in the video below.
Unofficial Importance
While Cute Spotify is an “unofficial” app – it is neither formally endorsed or authorised by the service it’s supporting – the creation of it is, nevetherless, an important milestone.

Starting Tuesday, you can download the official app, log in with your Twitter account or e-mail address, and start shooting all the 6-second movies your heart desires. The Vine app will also take advantage of Windows Phone's live tiles, and display a notification when your friends post new videos.
The news follows an earlier announcement at Nokia World in October, where Nokia announced that many popular apps from iOS and Android would make their way to Windows Phone in the coming weeks. Vine is the first of those announced apps to go live, so we should expect to see Flipboard and Instagram following not too far behind. Stay tuned for a review of Vine for Windows Phone soon.

Android grew to 81% of all smartphones shipped globally in the third quarter, while Apple's iPhones slipped to 12.9% compared to 14.4% a year ago, according to IDC.
The latest data from IDC, released Tuesday, also notes that Windows Phone grew to 3.6% market share, an increase from 2% a year ago.
Part of Apple's decline in iPhone share can be attributed to not having a large-display smartphone to sell, while nearly all Android manufacturers have a phablet on sale that has a display larger than 5 inches, IDC said. Android's third-quarter market share of 81% was up from 74.9% a year ago.
Even Nokia, which made up 93.2% of all Windows Phone-powered smartphones shipped in the third quarter, is introducing two new Lumia phones with 6-in. displays. The Lumia 1520 will be sold by AT&T starting Nov. 22, and the Lumia 1320 will be sold outside the U.S. early next year.
"It would help for Apple to have a larger phone, since they are popular in some hot markets where Apple wants to be, including North America, Europe and China," said Ramon Llamas, another IDC analyst, in an interview. "When you put all things together, there's an opportunity that Apple's not in right now and that other vendors are offering, like Samsung and now Nokia."
Llamas said he's heard the many rumors that the next iPhone, coming in another year, will have either a 4.7-in. or 5.7-in. display. Apples's latest phones, the iPhone 5S and 5C, have 4-in. displays.

Here's a short list of things that are more fun than job hunting: Hitting your thumb with a hammer. Taking the dog out for a bathroom break at 2 a.m. in the pouring rain. Buying embarrassing personal items at the store and realizing someone you know is behind you in line. Memorizing the Dewey Decimal System.
I could go on (and on, and on) but chances are I'm preaching to the choir. If you're reading this, you surely know all about the difficulties that arise in seeking employment. Might as well make it easier on yourself by checking out a few helpful mobile apps designed to help you achieve your goal, whether that's working in a corner office or a coroner's office.
LinkedIn—iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone(free)
The site and its companion mobile apps (all free) let you connect with other members on the basis that you have worked with or otherwise know that person, which is extremely handy given that referrals are often the most effective ways to secure interviews.
Additionally, you can build out a full profile that includes your education, work history, accomplishments, mission statement, and specific skills. Your connections can then endorse these skills, such as Digital Marketing or Customer Service.
Just having a complete profile may result in organic job offers, but of course LinkedIn also includes a comprehensive job board, with either the option to apply directly through the site or to company job pages. On the mobile apps, you can activate push notifications to keep track of new jobs in your field and alert you to incoming messages from potential employers.

Nokia and Instagram aren't detailing all of the app's features today, merely confirming it's planned in the coming weeks. 6tag, an unofficial Windows Phone app, recently launched for Windows Phone with full support for photo filters and video uploads. The app has been continually updated, and most recently gained a collage option that's not found in the official Instagram clients for iOS and Android. While an official app is welcomed, it's possible that third-party alternatives may still offer a better experience for Instagram on Windows Phone.

With Gartner claiming Microsoft nibbled up just 3.3 percent of the smartphone market in Q2 this year, Nokia still has a long way to go to regain its mobile standing. Even with the handful of impressive products unveiled at Nokia World, Chris Weber, EVP of Sales and Marketing, agrees that there's still work to be done.
"I don't think there's a silver bullet," Weber said during an interview yesterday. "It's the portfolio, it's great marketing to make sure people are aware of the capabilities, and it's making sure that the apps are there."
The good news is Nokia now has a full device portfolio -- from the basic Lumia 520phone up to the full-fledged Lumia 2520 tablet -- thus crossing a range of price points, experiences and form factors. And with big names like Instagram, Vine and Flipboard joining Nokia's own "disruptive" apps, Weber said he's confident in Windows Phone's future.
"The apps that we have, we have to make sure that they're as good as -- and in many cases better than -- what you get on the competitive platform," Weber said. "So you know, improving things like Facebook, bringing the next release of Skype, WhatsApp, et cetera."
Weber added that while the level of partnership differs from one third-party developer to another, in general it entails Nokia providing marketing support and technology assistance. The latter includes helping developers with the platform and API, as well as sharing the best coding practices -- especially to make the same app work across different form factors.
In response to whether he felt Nokia's been doing more work than Microsoft on promoting Windows Phone, Weber only implied that the two companies certainly work together on this.
"We partner with Microsoft and we sort of divide and conquer what apps we go after, which ones they do, which ones we need jointly to work together on that," Weber said. "But I think it's a joint effort in most of the things that you see. And the reality is what's good for the ecosystem is good for Nokia is the way we view it."
