The Fitbit for Windows Phone app has received another minor update today aimed at addressing some bug fixes with the app. The latest build is version 1.5.178.11521 for those keeping score and there are no new features in the release but is one that all users should update to via the Store app on your Windows Phone.
The Microsoft Lumia exclusive app, Lumia Cinemagraph, has been updated today with the ability to export your cinemagraphs to GIF files amongst other performance updates. For those who are not familiar with the app, Lumia Cinemagraph allows you to take photos and animate them. It’s a fun app – not particularly high on the useful scale – but does a great job. Until now exporting these was a bit of a trick but this update brings the Internet standard animated GIF support so sharing just became way easier.
With Microsoft expected to make big announcements around Windows 10 next week, Windows Phone users now have a new Phone Insider app to help them prepare for the next version of Windows Phone. The app is available now in the Windows Phone store and while it does not do much of anything a this point, it is a clear indicator that Redmond is getting Insiders ready for the next version of Windows Phone, likely to be named Windows Mobile.
In what is likely a direct response to T-Mobile’s Data Stash announcement in December, AT&T has announced that starting January 25th their customers will have Rollover Data on their data plans. It is a big win for AT&T customers as now they will be able to keep their unused data each month and roll it over to the next. Even better, you will be able to track your Rollover data through the myAT&T app.

The OneNote for Windows 8.1 has been updated and it finally brings support for accessing password protected sections in your OneNote notebooks. But it still isn’t complete support which means you still need the desktop version of the app. Why Microsoft? Why?
This morning I saw on my Store app on my Lumia 1320 there was an app update for Lumia Camera. I was giddy as I thought it was the much anticipated version 5.0 of the app (even though my phone won’t be able to take advantage of some of the more cool features). But alas, it is not version 5.0 but rather a bug fix update. Everyone can take a breath now.
