Now that the dust has settled on the big Windows Phone 8 hoedown, Redmond is filling in the details of all its announcements.

The software giant also added that the marketplace will filter apps by phone screen resolution and "other key characterstics," allowing easier targeting of users. To see if your country made the cut, check the source for the very long list.
