But they work through a web browser so should in theory work on windows phone. Reading the packaging the app just does the same as a web browser..
The K-3 sounds fantastic, but I am content with my K-5ii. I couldn't justify another upgrade, even if I had the money, which I don't.
I look forward to seeing lots more stunning, envy making, photos from all the lucky owners.

The 35/2.4 gets a lot of good press and reviews because it's cheap and doesn't perform badly, but much of this is not really deserved. However, the DA 35/2.8 limited is head-and-shoulders above it in terms of IQ, build quality and pleasure of use. The limited is sharper with much better colour and contrast and despite the f/ numbers, the 2.4 only lets in 25% more light than the 2.8 when wide open, not the 50% that the f/ number would lead us to believe (yes, I've checked this).
If you're looking at old glass, the SMC Takumar 35/3.5 is superb but tricky to use due to it's lower speed (hard to focus) and small size. The M 35mm f/2 is also very good (optically superior to the DAL 35/2.4) but rarer and so will probably cost as much as the DAL.
A limited lens is always going to be head and shoulders above a DA lens thats why they are part of the limited range because of their outstanding build quality and image quality. As for recommending old M glass, whilst it may be optically superior AF and new coatings will far outweigh any shortcomings in optical performance which will be very slim given the advances of lens design and construction in the time from M lenses to the new DA lenses.
For a lens in the 18-30 range the DA* 16-50mm fits perfectly
