To the guy who works for Windows Phone Central and says loading QR codes takes too long because you need to load an app to read it then execute it; are you aware you can just press Search>Bing Vision then point and it comes up straight away?
Nataku4ca says:
i think the issue is bing vision isn't in all countries... i cheated and set mine to US so im fine, but my mom had her region in tw and there is like... one button lol
MrBurrrns says:
This is really a minor nitpick, but why not use a HTML5 player instead of the Flash one?
Daniel Rubino says:
AFAIK, we're using the iFrame embedding which does support HTML5 encoding, according to YouTube. The "old" embed code is the Flash only.
MrBurrrns says:
Oh, the YouTube embed works fine, I meant the audio player. But it's no biggie, thanks for the podcast guys!

I am new to listening to the podcast. I have had a LG Quantum with AT&T. I have noticed you guys don't like LG (and neither do I). I have two questions. First is Tango coming to the Quantum? And two do you guys think there will be an AT&T Windows Phone 8 with a slide out keyboard?
Tianfu says:
WPcentral, quick question about windows 8 and windows phone 8. Windows 8 has windows to go were you can carry around windows 8 and some documents and plug it in and use it, atleast that is my understanding of it. Windows phone 8 will support expandable storage. Could it be possible to put windows 8 on the expandable storage and have a windows phone/windows super device? Though the hardware on the phone wouldn't run it you could carry around a windows 8 on your phone. Could some manufacturers decide to include that? Could you possibly make something like a plug in to a monitor and run windows 8, through some hackery? Thanks, love the site and podcast! Keep it up!
