Microsoft releases Windows Phone App

New app replaces Zune client.
Microsoft has released a new Windows Phone App in the Windows Store. The app replaces the Zune client, which was used to manage content on Windows Phone devices. Now all of your syncing needs and so forth can be carried out using the new app instead - if you are on Windows 8 of course.

App features...
  • Get your music, photos, and videos from your computer to your phone (and vice versa).
  • Quickly share things from your phone with Windows 8 apps (like Photos, or Search). You don't even have to open the Windows Phone app to move things around.
  • Automatically save photos and videos you take with your phone to your PC.
  • See at a glance how much space you're using for each type of content, so it's easy to make sure you never run out of room on your phone.
  • Get to WindowsPhone.com to download apps, learn more about your phone, or find it if it's lost.

The Windows Phone App is available from the Windows Store.
