"Great news for new Windows Phone 8-running handsets owners: Vimeo's app for the platform has been updated.\r\n\r\nThe bad news, as WPCentral reported, is that the application no longer appears to run on Windows Phone 7 devices. According to the publication, it remains unknown &amp;quot;if this is yet-another-Store error.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIf indeed Vimeo has left Windows Phone 7 behind, it has effectively shut the door on the last two years of the mobile platform. That would not bode well for early adopters of Windows Phone, who could find themselves increasingly isolated, left out of the coming future of the platform.\r\n\r\nIn a sense that is inevitable, as the architecture that Windows Phone 7, 7.1, 7.5, and 7.8 run on is now retired; apps built for Windows Phone 8 will increasingly not run on the older versions.\r\n\r\nHowever, the update to Vimeo's app isn't much to sneeze at. The following is the full change log:\r\n\r\n\r\n\tWatch and manage all your existing Vimeo videos\r\n\tWatch videos from your Vimeo inbox, Watch Later queue, or videos you have liked\r\n\tUse NFC Tap-to-Share to share Vimeo videos between phones\r\n\tCreate live tiles from your videos or featured channels\r\n\tEasily like, comment on, and add videos to your Watch Later queue\r\n\tDiscover new and fascinating featured videos\r\n\tQuickly search for videos on Vimeo\r\n\tEasily upload your footage in HD\r\n\tPause and resume uploads\r\n\tReplace existing videos\r\n\tShare via Facebook, Twitter, email, or SMS\r\n\tAdd videos to your Groups, Channels, and Albums\r\n\r\n\r\nNow just like in the commercials, you can tap to share.\r\n\r\nTNW has requested comment from Microsoft on whether the app does indeed not function of Windows Phone 7 devices, or if that is merely an error.\r\n\r\nUpdate: Microsoft has confirmed that Windows Phone 7.x users can quickly expect Vimeo to return. Exclusion appears to be an accident.\r\n\r\nTop Image Credit:\u00A0Vernon Chan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
