20 Must Have Apps for Windows Phone 8

20 Must Have Apps for Windows Phone 8
By
Intro

In conjunction with the launch of Windows 8, Microsoft is pushing forward with its companion OS, Windows Phone 8, and has teamed up with Nokia and many other manufacturers to release a host of Windows Phone 8 smartphones.

It's not as vast as the app stores on offer from Google or Apple, but the Windows phone app store is growing. Here are some of our favourite Windows Phone 8 apps.

    I hope this is in no particular order, because the ebay app is MUCH more important than the Amazon one...

    The truly amazing thing about this story as evidenced by the lack of comments is that maybe MS has more of an uphill battle than once thought

    Most people don't even have their Lumia 920's in the states yet, mine is arriving later today/tomorrow. Unfortunately AT&T is helping to ruin the hype behind the release of WP8.

    Demote It
    Flashlight-X
    IMDB

    Other than games, those are all the ones I like to use on a regular basis on my lumia 920 (other than the native installed apps)

    Currency X
    Armored
    Mail app
    Weather app
    Skype

    That's all that's useful on the desktop really, so many better things that are in 'windowed' form

    Doesn't WP8 have the Sound Hound functionality natively? I know WP7 has it.
