That's the one lol.
I use Chrome on my iPhone and have relegated Safari to the lesser used apps folder.
As an ex Android user this is something I can relate to.
HTC: 'Using widgets and constantly customising homescreens is so 2010' | News | TechRadarQuote:
HTC revamped its Sense UI after learning that most smartphone owners rarely use widgets and barely bother to customise their homescreens after the first month of tweaking.
After we've placed short cuts and put apps in quickly accessible places, how many of us constantly customise our home screens? Obviously customisation is limited on iPhone to just having icons for apps on the homescreen, but having access to widgets and news feed widgets is not something I have missed from Android.
Agree. I'm still sorting my tiles out, but after i do that i doubt I'll do much changing at all.
And today the bbc announce that they will support wp8 and wp7.5 :) not sure if that means that the bbc site will work for video with these phones though.
Unfortunately its not in app form. Its a live tile that links to BBC media player but better than not having access at all.Quote:

I guess the details will come out in the future.....
Why it's not an App I don't quite understand. The BBC will have to develop an App for Windows 8 and the additional cost of development can't be too much. I saw good reason for the Beeb not to do it for WP7, but WP8 is proving to be more popular and really deserves better support.
I might be wrong but iPlayer don't provide a dedicated app for Blackberry either and they are the third most popular platform in the UK. Although Windows is growing they are still only supplying a small proportion of the market and there is still the fear they won't be anywhere near as popular as the market leaders, Android and iOS. I remember when I first started using Android and app's were slow coming out, and its frustrating. There is the added part where its been reported recently that a couple of hardware manufacturers have paused development on Windows phones because the OS is harder to work with than that of Android. Something Windows perhaps have in common with Apple in that respect. Its not ideal but making the site mobile friendly appears to be the cheaper alternative when there is still uncertainty over whether WP8 will be successful in the long term. One of the reasons I moved to iOS was because of app choice and the quality of app's appears to be of a higher standard. I've re-purchased a few apps I had originally on my HTC and they come with more features and run in a much more stable fashion.
I've been reading the posts here and I must say that I have been totally left behind in my knowledge of smart phones. Obviously from what I read above, the smart phone has already replaced the desk top and lap top computers not to mention the tablets in many of the functions available, especially those relating to recreational usage. Sure, Geeks (I say this in the most respectful manner) will always find better usage in an ultrabook powered by an i7 core. One Geek I met in Costco told me he is in the IT industry in the Ukrain, and he pointed to a Toshiba Ultrabook powered by an i5 core is more than what he needs to do his work. If he needed any programs, he didn't need a disc drive - everything is available on the internet.
