    noone seems to be talking about this major news thats been around in the past week.
    well, i got visual studio fired up, playing with the emulator.
    out of the box the emulator image thats included is limited.. you need to "unlock" it by downloading a different image so you can get everything thats been in the builds of the mix conference.

    the emulator is slow, prolly my computer.. but the more i play around with it.. the more i dont like the UI. it looked great at first but now its just too much text, too much black and white, not enough "pop".

    i dunno, i'll reserve for when its officially released.
    should be interesting.

    Looking at it since the beginning I really didn't like the design. I don't know it just doesn't sit well with me.
