'Bitcoin Tradr' Wallet App For Windows 8 Launches

A publisher by the name of Apptastic! LLC has released what could be the first bitcoin wallet application for the Windows 8 operating system (not to be confused with other applications that run on Windows, as this app is "designed" for the Windows 8 look).
