Windows RT has been designed specially for ARM architecture based Systems such as Tablets and Windows Phone. What is to be noticed here is Windows RT does not support Typical Windows Program. Users cannot install any third party application on Windows RT based Tablet or Phone.

In contrary to that, you can download and install Apps available on Windows Store only. Additionally, Windows RT provide better battery support, which can turnout to be an advantage for users. Before you think of replacing your ios or Android phone with Windows RT based phone, I would say think twice again. It is not worth a sacrifice.

Windows Store has only 3000-3500 Apps available for users till now, but Microsoft claims that by january 2013, the count is going to touch lakhs. Here, in this article, i’m going to assemble some of the Apps which might fill the void in your library.

1. FlipToast

How would you react if someone will tell you that there is no twitter or facebook application for Windows RT ? Shocking ? Sure it is. Facebook and Twitter have not yet announced their official Apps for Windows RT. But you need not worry, this isn’t the end. You can satisfy you social craving with Fliptoast App available in store, which can help you connect with your friends on twitter and facebook both. You can check your notifications and update your profile in the same manner you do on facebook or twitter. Free.

2. Skype

While twitter and facebook are busy developing their official app for Windows RT, skype has their App running successfully. No matter the distance, Skype keeps you close.
