Hi all, I was wondering if there is going to be a Weatherzone app developed for Windows Phone? It hardly seems fair Android and Apple get all the attention, yet us WP users miss out (there will be more of us when the new generation Nokia smartphones are released - it has been confirmed most, if not all will be running Windows Phone 8). I enjoyed the app on my old iPhone, and would love to have it on my current phone.

Maybe you don't like those phones, but sales of both say most people prefer them. In fact Android phones now outsell iPhones. Being Windows phones are a minority I would say many people like WZ and other companies will not bother spending the time and effort to develop apps for phone operating systems that are not in high usage or high demand. Sorry but its that simple.

Android outselling iPhones? Now THAT'S good news! Sorry, ex iPhone owner. I know Windows is a lesser used phone OS. No idea why, my brother has had nothing but problems with both his Android phones, and iPhones are ONLY popular as the interface is "pretty", where WP 7.5 is a no bull, "grown up's" phone (as I always put it LOL), written to be faultless and efficient. STILL, people are failing to realise that now Nokia are using Windows Phone on their flagship smartphones, it will soon creep up the ranks. The Lumia 900 (yet to arrive) has a dual core processor- Just because WP doesn't need it, but what the heck. It'll be an android and iPhone killer, from reports I have read. That and I think app makers should cater to everyone, regardless of what phone they have. I'm over the second rate weather app I already have, it has no radar. Had the WZ app on my iPhone, I swore by it.

As for companies not bothering- QPS have an official app, as well as I Can Has Cheezburger and Memebase, Google maps (the navigation is powered by Google), Banks are starting to release apps, and telcos are starting to jump on board as well. What I have noticed in the Zune Marketplace is the number of apps appearing (rough guestimate around 30,000 have been developed and redeveloped from Symbian platforms) since Nokia signed a contract with Microsoft. They wouldn't be adding all these apps if it wasn't worth it. What I am saying - don't write off Windows Phone.
