• Lumia users can go to Nokia’s website and find out if their update is available
• The update is already available on some carriers like T-Mobile

Microsoft’s YouTube app blocked by Google once again

• Microsoft included in-stream video ads, but Google claimed they weren’t always displaying the correct advertisement
• Google refuses to provide MS with the correct API to display ads
• Google wants MS to build a HTML5 YouTube app, which would be nearly impossible
• Thus WP is still left without a true official YouTube app

Halo: Spartan Assault available to everyone in USA
