Yesterday we ran a rather odd looking Windows Phone 8 rumor ( read ). Most of you guys agreed that it was most likely a fan made concept and not the real deal but now a Nokia Lumia 900 advertisement on pcadvisor.co.uk ( see source link below, it might still be up ) shows some interesting Live tiles.

Another Concept or a leaked design for Windows Phone 8 ?

Saijo George — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:40:02 +0000

Some new images have cropped up claiming to be design work for a future version of Windows Phone. The folks from Insideris is claiming this will be pre Windows Phone 8. It certainly does not look like Tango. The design itself looks a bit comical with Comic Sans used for the font. A wise designer and a few guys on twitter once told me “Comic Sans” are for n00bs when I had that in the Logo. ( you all know who you are )

windows-phone-8-lame-photoshop

PhoneArena has posted a rather dodgy looking photoshopped image calling it Windows Phone 8 developer build on a cyan Nokia Lumia 900 which seems to be missing the hardware buttons for some reason. We have generally stayed away from the will Windows Phone 8 upgrade come to current gen devices rumors ( except for the little incident with Cris ;) ). When I look at that image all I see a photoshopped image and a rather poor one at that.

It looks like the uber successful game Temple Run , an endless-runner survival game might be heading to Windows Phone . While there is no time frame on the titles release the developers did make a promising statement about other platforms in a recent interview with pocketgamer

We’re also working on bringing Temple Run to every possible device. I think we’ve gotten emails from owners of every possible device wanting Temple Run. Android is first, then we’ll start tackling everything else.

Will older Windows Phone devices get Windows Phone 8 Apollo ?

Saijo George — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 06:35:21 +0000

Apollo test pilot wanted

I am sure many of you will be wondering the same question Will Windows Phone 8 Apollo be available on Gen 1 ( the launch devices Samsung Omnia 7 , LG Optimus, etc ) or Gen 2 devices ( post Mango devices like the Lumia series , Samsung Focus S, etc ). We have seen indication that Apps will be backward compatible for most parts but nothing has been said about the OS coming to older devices.

With Apollo there are speculations that skype will be baked in to the OS which would require the use of Front Facing Camera for the video chat option, its also possible that some native apps will make use of the gyroscope which is missing in many of the Gen 1 devices. So will Microsoft block the updates on Gen1 devices to offer the customers a better experience than hit them with a feature not available message when they try to use some of the features that are not available on their devices coz of hardware limitations ?
