Windows Phone Store listings show that Windows Phone 8.1 will be called... Windows Phone 8.1!

It's fairly safe to assume that any app that works with Windows Phone 8 at the moment will work with Windows Phone 8.1 when it is released, or at the very least will be updated to add compatibility. But if you were in any doubt about whether your favorite app will work with the successor to Windows Phone 8, the Windows Phone Store will let you know.
This is handy to know, but more importantly it also reveals what we have suspected for a long time -- that the follow up to Windows Phone 8 will indeed be called Windows Phone 8.1. There has still been no official announcement about the name or release date -- we should find out more at BUILD next month -- but the information in the Windows Phone Store means that the name is now all but certain.
