I just finally got around to getting VS2012 running under Windows 8.
SI4WP absolutely flies on the Nokia Lumia 920. I mean it is fast as all hell. It runs every bit as fast on the phone as it does in the emulator on my new PC, a capture of which is shown below.
The bad news is that recent changes to SI have broken SI4WP.
The good news is that Dmitry says SI is opening up a real API for SI, meaning one may easily develop modern, native clients for any mobile platform, and I won't have to worry about any change to the SI site breaking my mobile client, which presently parses the site's html.
This is welcome news. I'd love to see SI have native clients for other mobile platforms and Windows 8 too.

SI is presently the only website that I still need to visit on a regular basis (I access nearly every other website via either a dedicated app or RSS). For me, this could mean the death of the browser.
Sorry all your work on Si4WP hasn't paid off yet...

I found some time to work on my mobile app for SI again. An "alpha" release, not nearly feature complete, has been posted to the Windows Store. Would love to get some feedback.
Any Windows Phone users interested in testing it out, please drop me a PM. I'll add you to the list of those authorized to install it and give you a private URL in the Windows Store from which you may try it out.
It utilizes a new API for SI that SI Dmitry (code monkey) made available. It does not yet support posting messages and has a few bugs to work out, but for reading the site while on the road and recommending posts, it is pretty awesome.
