I'm somewhat interested in iPhone 5. Considering an upgrade from my lumia 710 on either the iPhone 5 or lumia 920. Ios seems to get all the cool apps, wp7 marketplace hardly ever gets the cool shit :(

Windows 8 marketplace will be huge very quickly. Tablets will drive it. 

Will the phone and tablet use the same Win8 Marketplace? I love the WP interface, just hate that im left out from all the big app and game releases.

Windows Phone 8 will share native C and C++ code with Windows 8. Native game development gets a boost, too, with DirectX and common graphics drivers support. The shared kernel will greatly simplify how developers can create apps for both platforms. Microsoft notes that the presentation layer, which will be optimized for different types of devices and experiences, is separate from the underlying code.

In its most basic sense, this structure will make it possible for developers to write once, and publish many. The code base can be reused across different devices; only the presentation will need to be revisited. This will also make it easier for developers to ensure the quality of their software; the need to test against multiple variables is often an albatross for Android developers. The Internet Explorer browser will do the same HTML rendering on the phone, PC, and slate, which is another critical component for jump-starting development for cross-platform Metro apps.

 

Oh kick ass! Thats pretty badass... to hell with the iPhone 5 then.
