AAWP Insight #58: Apps, Games, and SXSW
Published by Rafe Blandford at
In episode 58 of the AAWP Insight, Podcast Ewan and Rafe start by discussing some recent high profile app additions to the Windows Phone Store (Pandora, United, BBC iPlayer) and the Instagram question. We then move on to games (Gameloft, 10tons, Unity engine, and more), highlighting the increasing strength of Windows Phone 8 in this department. In the last third of the podcast Ewan reports back on his Lumia 620 enabled SXSW experience, and we finish, as usual, with some app picks (although Ewan's gone a bit old school).
