In a way I like that it’s simply windows 8.1 phone. But a larger part of me wishes they had a better name for it. I think a cool name goes a long way in marketing and sales.
I am with you, Jason. I think the name could use an improvement to get more of a buzz. If the average consumer hears Windows 8.1 phone, they probably just consider it a minor upgrade from the Windows 8 phone. I’d like a new name.
You had to figure Build would have some great news for the company out of the gates and they delivered. I think both will be great, but I’m more fascinated by cortana and how that will turn out.
I agree. Cortana definitely seems like the more ambitious project. Because of that, I am more interested to see what happens with that. I think we have a good idea of what to expect from the 8.1 phone. At least a better idea I should say.
