Microsoft is looking to unify its various Windows products. The Redmond giant has posted a job ad looking for a person that would help them solve the “Windows puzzle” and allow Windows Phone apps to run on Windows RT devices, and vice versa.
The ad explains the Windows Phone team was “…leading the charge to bring much of the WinRT API surface and the .NET Windows Store profile to the Phone.”
Moreover, it says that Windows Phone apps should also run on Windows 8 computers, which is something that should be possible — since you can already run Android apps with software like BlueStacks.
The position was already been filled and now we expect to hear how this is going… Though we’ll likely have to wait for few more months to get some tangible results. We’ll let you know when something of this sort comes up…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
