Windows 8M / RT / 8 Client?

Post by Orzo9
With the release of Windows 8 Mobile, RT and a myriad of full blown Windows 8 Tablets now and in the next few months are there any plans to re-engage the Windows Platform? :?:

I have two Apple Iphones but was recently given an RT device to evaluate by my company and have also purchased the new Nokia Lumia 822 phone and would LOVE to see Waze made available for it.

I think MS is back as a player in the mobile market and would love to see Waze made available sooner rather than later.

Often asked. Check the search function of the forum please.

Market share is what it's all about. Period.

Please read what Alan has written or search the forum. The market share of Windows phones (and Waze potential users) is so low and against iPhone and Android will stay so low that no support is planned (yet) there. Ask again when the share of newly sold WP devices comes close to iPhone. ;)

I am not talking officially for Waze but just reproducing what heard and understood. The development resources are limited and focused on the most important things they can handle. Please do not try to find more behind it.

I loved using Waze. I've recently moved to a Windows 8 phone and would like to know when Waze will be available for the Windows platform. I look forward to using waze again.

So you're trying to hide the comments requesting waze for WP8 so waze people can go on pretending there's no demand for it? Just tell veryone asking about it to shut up and go away.

It's pretty obvius already that this is not about market share.
