Microsoft Has Begun Testing Andromeda App Support in the Microsoft Store

[Megalith]

There is a new category listing in the Microsoft Store, and many are convinced that it involves Microsoft’s Andromeda OS, which comprises part of the company’s plan to make Windows modular and proves that some sort of mobile Surface device exists. Some have already begun speculating that the device could run full desktop apps.

"8828080" appeared a little while ago as a new target platform within Microsoft's code infrastructure. It's noteworthy because it also forms part of Microsoft's corporate phone number. We've heard that various existing Windows 10 Mobile and PC apps are already showing up with support for "8828080" in the store, including big-name third-party offerings from companies like Spotify, and even some games.

Yeah, and a big crease right down the center of your device is reeeeaaaal appealing.

Unless it's a racing game with the option for vertical split screen, then triple monitor or bust

This has got to start somewhere though right
First this...second gen, screen will be foldable....third gen, pull out screen like in Earth Final Conflict

If Microsoft follows their established pattern for mobile the release product will cost more than ever before and be abandoned faster than any in their history.

Zune, Winphone 7, Winphone 8, windows 10 phone whatever, Groove music pass, Band 1 and 2. Win RT.

 

[Comixbooks]

UMMMM ah OK I just want a colored browser for Edge.

Unless it has support for Win32 applications and can run a full version of Windows, this is just another failure waiting to happen. No one is going to make apps for the next "Windows Phone" or "Kin"!
