Here's a nice little rebuttal to Nielsen's thoughts.
Funnily enough, now that Zune is out of the equation iTunes and that connector problem seems to be the only way to sync podcasts right now. (You can subscribe to them via the Marketplace on the phone, but there's no desktop connection and no way to add podcasts that aren't in the market place. . . )Do you think MS is going to insist on their closed ecosystem? Or do you think people are going to start complaining a lot and they will open up the features? I think the latter will happen, but I'm way out of the loop. I'm more worried that MS has designed the OS in such a way that certain important functions won't even be accessible to developers that were accessible with previous windows versions.-allen (November 20, 2012, 12:07 PM)-superboyac (November 20, 2012, 07:15 PM)
No man, that's way too manual. The "Windows Phone" Windows 8 app auto-syncs content when plugged in over usb. There is also a Desktop/Windows 7 program (You linked to it previously) that I presume can do the same.-allen (November 19, 2012, 11:20 PM)
This one? http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/windows-phone-app-for-desktop
Apparently there's a version that runs on a Mac ... But:The Windows Phone app for desktop won't work on Windows RT.
That's rather dumb.-Stoic Joker (November 20, 2012, 06:43 AM)
