Didn't we already see the "photon" release many years ago... Originally, Microsoft wanted to develop windows mobile alongside windows phone. To be fair to windows mobile, it was a corporate and enterprise standard os, and yes it didn't attract the regular users, but what it did, it did well. You had plenty of overlays available to make the interface nicer, and the core os was, and still is, more reliable than wp7 or 8. You're slating an interface because you're comparing it to something totally different, as i said, Microsoft were going to launch the two alongside each other. Most corps are either still with wm or have gone to ios/bb, wp hasn't set the corp world alight, so for all its success with consumers, the real money, the corps, hasn't exactly piled in...

I'm looking forward to the innovation you guys bring Venetasoft. I personally have both Instagraph and Itsdagram on my phone. Itsdagram had the full featured client and experience....but one thing I do like about your app is that it is built right into the "share" and "edit" menu at the OS level. I really like that convenience. I hear @nas2lor is rebuilding Metrogram from ground up with Instagraph integrated. I am also looking forward to that since I actually really like the design of Metrogram. To all the devs....keep up the good work. It does not go unnoticed.

I am so glad I'm looking at my beautifully designed wp8 handset right now, words cannot start to describe it. Metro UI is by far the best thing that MS has come up with in the last decade IMHO.
Thanks heavens this has not made it into the real word, thanks to whoever chose Metro in favour of proposals like the one shown above!

damn ugly but I do like the 7 logo

I too love the design of this app. I'll probably keep using it once he official app comes out just to stick it to Instagram for being assholes about the whole situation.

As a wp7.8 user, I think its time to move on. This is like holding on to the Xbox when there is an Xbox 360 now . The wp8 has been out for a while and Msft has to concentrate on that to challenge the high end phones. We just have to move on

Oh my gawd it's horrible!
RichDunbar says:
Obviously I hope the 928 crowd is growing fast but can guarantee you it's predominantly the other WP8 variants driving this. New WP users would have no idea where to even find this app last Thursday when they got their phones on the day the app launched. The vast majority of the now 20k+ users definitely bought this with their own $1.49.

" Glad Microsoft went with Windows Phone as we know it today?"
Yes.

I'm using Instagraph on my WP7, but will evaluate itsdagram too.

Looks terrible.
Spicymikey says:
Yes it seems apparent to me now that FB (who owns Instagram) simply doesn't want to play with MS. it's a stategic business decision since Windows Phone is a clear threat to everyone in this segment (which FB wants to join with their own phone).
So FB will not create an instagram app until they absolutely must. With the success of Itsdagram and the continuing rise in market share for WP, they will probably soon be forced to create an app for Instagram and maybe even FB itself

I believe the galaxy note 2 has not only voice activated shutter, but you can say various commands that decide what kind of picture to take...
"Take Picture" - takes picture
"Say Cheese" - Wait's till eyes are on camera and possibly waits for smile
"Smile" - waits for indiv or group to show teeth
"Take video" - I think starts recording video
I'd love to say other things like "Macro," "Focus back" or "Focus Front" - "start multishot" ... that would be pimp... :D
