MS is phasing out the current Zune Pass offerings in the US as well. I received an email stating they are discontinuing the $14.99/month program with 10 free MP3s per month for the $9.99/month subscription mentioned in your article. They are grandfathering current subscribers. No new subscribers after 10/1.
I think it’s only available in the US at this stage . I should have made it clear in the video , quite new to this hopefully will improve over time :)
Multitasking for sure – the best multitasking implementation out of all the mobile phone OSs.
For me it’s Speech to Text and ability for Apps to integrate in to the OS ( eg image editing apps can show up in picture hub )
