Microsoft is preparing to announce Windows Phone 8 in just a few hours. We’ve earlier heard that the Zune syncing software is going out, and a new alternative is coming in. Today Microsoft released this alternative, and it’s now available in the Windows Store for Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT users out there. The app is simply called “Windows Phone app for Windows.” As the image above shows, this apps is simply beautiful.

Your computer and your Windows Phone 8 work together seamlessly with the Windows Phone app so you always have your photos, videos, and music, and more where you want them.
