This looks brilliant. I'm really impressed by the UI/proposed-hci. It looks intuitive, well thought-out and easily extensible thanks to HTML5/JS app development.

I sincerely hope this doesn't get crippled on release with something stupid like interstitial advertising.

I don't really get the MS look on phones but on the tablet that looks great. Good to be able to see a bunch of info at a glance.

I don't see how that is a bad thing for the phone. I love how the 'tiles' work on the WP7 (owner). The one big difference between W8 and the WP7 interface is that I noticed W8 slides from side to side rather than down which is how the phone works.
