由于微软准备把它的Windows Phone运行系统大幅更新到8.1版本，一些第三方的软件开发商不确定windows phone 8的智能机能不能升级到最新的运行系统。这周，三个软件商说，Windows Phone 8智能机的很多软件在打折促销，而且Windows Phone手机销量低于预期，这些因素都让他们在怀疑，在全新的WP8.1手机到来之前，微软和它的手机制造商诺基亚及三星正尽力去减少他们的WP8库存。根据分析者及软件商的说法，Windows Phone 8.1将会在11月或者明年的第一季度升级，但是微软，诺基亚和三星都对这个说法不予置评。
被问到诺基亚的WP8手机是否可以升级到8.1版本，诺基亚在两个小时内竟然给了Computerworld两种不同的说法。来自诺基亚发言人Nina Ratavaara的第一种说法是 “我们对于未来的产品不予置评，但是微软已经确认了WP8是可以升级到WP8.1的”。两小时之后，她更正了之前的说法，她说，微软对于未来还没宣布的事情从来不给于确认。
三个软件开发商希望基于HTML 5开发适用于不同平台的应用及其他手机附属产品，但他们被微软和诺基亚的公告惊到了，他们敦促微软和诺基亚给出更明确的信号。他们不想Windows Phone 7的悲剧再次发生在Windows Phone 8上面。
Sencha是一家网络应用开发公司，专门基于HTML 5开发适用于安卓、IOS及Windows Phone的应用的。其首席技术馆Abe Elias说，“WP8若是不能升级到WP8.1，这丝毫不会让我惊讶”。
另一位不愿意透露姓名的软件商说，微软对于它的升级计划需要更加的透明，毕竟很多第三方开发者的利益与微软的决策息息相关。消费者也要确认现在的系统是否可以升级到WP8.1才会决定买WP8的手机。
分析者称，尽管诺基亚在第三季度Lumia的销量表现出色，但是在安卓与IOS主导的智能手机市场上，Windows Phone的未来仍然不明朗。Windows Phone占了3%的市场份额，排在安卓和IOS后面。就他们现在占的市场份额来看，微软和诺基亚要想争取到消费者的青睐，必须要在是否能升级WP8.1这个问题上更加透明。

As Microsoft prepares to release a major upgrade to its Windows Phone operating system, to version 8.1, some third party software makers are unsure whether smartphones running Windows Phone 8.0 will run the new OS.
Three software vendors said this week that price discounts by carriers on some Windows Phone 8 smartphone models and slower than expected sales of these devices make them wonder whether Microsoft and its phone makers, including Nokia and Samsung, are trying to reduce WP8 inventories before new WP8.1 phones arrive.
The Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade could appear in November or after the first of the year, according to analysts and software vendors, but Microsoft isn't saying. Nokia, which makes 80% of Windows Phones and is being acquired by Microsoft isn't saying either. Samsung didn't comment.
Asked whether Nokia's WP8 phones, including the Lumia 1020 and the low-cost Lumia 520, would be upgradeable to version 8.1, Nokia issued two differing statements to Computerworld just two hours apart early Wednesday. The first emailed statement from Nokia spokeswoman Nina Ratavaara said, "We don't comment on future products, but Microsoft has confirmed that smartphones running Windows Phone 8 will be upgradeable to Windows Phone 8.1."
Two hours later, she corrected the first statement to say only that "Microsoft has confirmed that smartphones running Windows Phone 8 will be upgradeable."
Microsoft said that it would not share its future plans, but then added that the Windows Phone OS "is upgradeable ... If or how individual devices are upgraded has not been announced."
Three software makers that hope to produce apps and other products for mobile device management or tools to run HTML 5 Web-based apps on various platforms including Windows Phone were amazed by the statements from Microsoft and Nokia and urged more clarity. They and various analysts noted how Windows Phone 7 devices couldn't be upgraded to Windows Phone 8, an indication that history could be repeating itself.
"It wouldn't surprise me at all if current Windows Phone 8 phones don't work on 8.1," said Abe Elias, chief technical officer at Sencha, a Web app development company that uses HTML 5 to build apps that can run across platforms such asAndroid, iOS and Windows Phone.
Another executive at a third-party software maker that builds apps for Windows Phone 8 and the older Windows CE OS that is still used in many industrial settings said he expects WP8.1 to be a major upgrade that will provide the upgrade path for the CE devices that haven't been updated since 2009. He also said that Silverlight, a development tool for Web and mobile apps, won't be supported on 8.1. He spoke on the condition that he wasn't named, since he said some of the information is privileged.
That source and another software vendor working with Windows Phone smartphones who asked not to be named said Microsoft needs to be more forthcoming with its upgrade plans, since so many third party vendors are dependent on what happens. The source said consumers also need to know whether they can buy a current smartphone that can be fully upgraded to 8.1 in the next few months.
Analysts said that while Nokia had an increase in its third quarter of sales of Lumia devices, the future of Windows Phone is still far from secure in a competitive smartphone market led by Android, with iOS second. Windows Phone has about 3% of market share, ranking third. Given its ranking, Microsoft and Nokia need to be more open with customers about their plans for 8.1, analysts said.I
