Windows Phone is a great mobile platform that suffers from a crippling lack of popular mobile apps. Nothing Microsoft has done so far as generated significant developer interest in the platform. What’s more, popular apps that are released to the platform aren’t updated and supported with the same regularity as those apps’ Android and iOS counterparts. However, The Information has come out with a new report that gives us new details on Microsoft’s last-ditch effort to make its mobile platform relevant.
