Windows Phone to get an official file manager by month’s end

An official file manager is sorely missing on the Windows Phone. But that might change very soon if we are to take Joe Belfiore’s word for it. The head of Windows Phone at Microsoft said in a recent “Ask me Anything” on Reddit that their team is hoping to release their file manager by the end of the month. Belfiore even showed screenshots to authenticate this feature. There are third-party file managers out there but it is always better to work with an official one baked into the system already.

In the new installment to the popular series, players must help Kirby save longtime rival King Dedede by traveling through worlds while inhaling enemies.  New features include a “hypernova” ability that gives Kirby the power to inhale everything in its way including massive trees and level sections. This was a hands-down favourite amongst the kid reviewers!
