Silly me, I expected Windows 8 to be available on smartphones on Friday, too. Well, no such luck.
So far, I haven't been able to find a definitive article on the subject, but a fellow at a Rogers kiosk in West Edmonton Mall just told me that he expects to be getting his first shipment of smartphones with Win8 pre-installed by the end of the month. In other words, Hallowe'en, which is this coming Wednesday. Wonder if the first ones will only be available in two tone black and orange.
