New home screen! :eek:

That will work so nicely on a 720p screen. :cool:

New home screen! Bah, looks like the old one, but NOW you can make them smaller..

Cosimo · 20 Jun 2012 at 17:47

That home screen does look sexy.

Odd. Engadget stated Nokia on the live blog.

Nunzio · 20 Jun 2012 at 17:55

So now your pc talks to your tablet which talks to your phone and vice versa. Who needs to tinker with Android or get bored with iOS when you can have Windows 8 and do the lot. The all-encompassing Microsoft World is knocking at the door. The future will be here in October.

Nunzio · 20 Jun 2012 at 17:55

the phone is nokia, the tablet is samsung.

..and bigger - everything from quarter size to double size and they remain live with data. Pretty important and I like that I can pretty much see all I need to know at a high level from the home screen without opening an app.

I'm thinking the same.

Who needs anything else when you can effectively take your PC with you, with reliable, similar functionality.

You're kidding right? So I have to buy a Windows 8 PC (or upgrade my OS), I have to buy a Windows 8 tablet, and I have to buy a WP8 phone? Ignoring I may already have a tablet and a phone. And I'll do all this just so my devices can talk to each other in a way I'd rarely care about?
