Windows Phone: news, rumors - Archive # 1

In this topic, you can share the news about Windows Phone 7 and discuss them.

About Operating System

Windows Phone 7 is a completely new Microsoft operating system developed on the core of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 (

). Unlike its predecessors, it has a finger-oriented interface and a completely redesigned core. Thanks to the friendly interface and many innovations, it is designed for a much wider range of users.

Main innovations:

Microsoft control over devices. You can forget about problems with drivers, so familiar to owners of many Android and WM devices. Noweachthe game will work oneachdevice with windows phone. From this follows the appearanceworkingupdate system available to owners of any WP-smartphones.

But the main highlight of Windows Phone 7 -variety of online services. XBox Live allows you to associate your account on the XBox with your smartphone, as well as download a lot of ported games (at the moment there are more than fifty of them available). Zune and Marketplace will instantly download programs, games, music and other types of content. In fact, these features already make Windows Phone a very good OS, but this is not the main thing. The main acquisition here is tight integration with social networks and services. This is, first of all, Facebook and Windows Live, although local social networks will be available for each country.

Games for WP simply stagger the imagination - we have not seen such beauty even on the iPhone (watch YouTube video). DirectX9 support in conjunction with XBox Live makes WP7 the ideal gaming platform.

Well, a little about the appearance of this miracle in Russia. The terms differ, it is only known that this is 2011, and most likely not before the second half. This is mainly due to the problems of deploying content purchase services.

About the upcoming update Mango

The new version of the system was demonstrated at the MIX 11 conference in Las Vegas. On the features of the new version told Joe Belfiore (Joe Belfiore), Vice President of Microsoft, who heads the development of Windows Phone.

• Background Agents (Backgroud Agents) is another side of multitasking and one of the parts of Live Agents.
  
• The full version of Internet Explorer 9 with HTML5 support is now in your phone.
  
• New and updated old tools for working with the camera, compass and gyroscope. New API and Augmented Reality now on Windows Phone.

Stalker-Kostyan,
Yeah. And also imagine how to lean this bandura to your ear and say "ALYO." In this case, you can carry the BB with you in your briefcase: D.

[e-ch!]

Stalker-Kostyan @ 10/08/07 00:40:12

you can't read from one hand

I read easily, despite the fact that I have one of the biggest UMPCs ... and the PDA is almost extinct, people are beginning to understand that they will not replace the laptop, but for the organizer and the Communal 2.8 "it will come down, by the way, you can give me a powerful, announcedpurelyPDA except ipaq 100/200?

Stalker-Kostyan @ 10/08/07 00:40:12

Umps is almost the same as a jigsaw.

Now I’m wondering, dear, was you UMPK or is this a mere allegation based on the pictures from the reviews?

Stalker-Kostyan (information from the profile)

PDA: ASUS P535

After all, you yourself use the communicator, and defend the PDA, which can already be counted on fingers ......

[Stalker-Kostyan]

The communicator is the same PDA, but you can call it and climb on the Internet via GPRS, it is not different from the PDA anymore!

[e-ch!]

Stalker-Kostyan,
you forget that it is optimized for all of this and usually has a smaller screen and size ..... by the way, if you didn’t notice, starting from vm5, mobile Windows began to make the facet more convenient for comuns and smarts and programs to fit, so you want whether you are or not, but very soon the pure PDA will not be, but only the smart and the commune, and even more likely it will be one class of devices ...

[Stalker-Kostyan]

May be. :)

[mech5.0]

And what prevents to write sharovarki under Linux?

But I didn’t enter into this. O.o you want a special system from Bill for Russia, or Linux? and what prevents to write keygens under Linux?

[rockin]

mech5.0, let's dot all i. Too few beeches were printed that you understood me.
I think no one would mind if the state + independent software companies take the role of Microsoft on the territory of Russia. Consortium, so to speak. The state will sponsor a consortium, and it will make an operating system.
You, apparently, decided that I propose to introduce an OS in Russia that will be created by someone just like that, without money. This is nonsense and I did not mean that.

Judge for yourself if in 2009 in 80% of schools, educational institutions and government institutions as a whole will not stand Windows, as now, but Linux (or something else, it does not matter). What do you think, what percentage of home users, if we take into account the fact that the overwhelming majority get acquainted with the OS not at home, will Windows use?

Now let's move to the plane of mobile devices. Why does the Russian state indirectly (through taxes) sponsor an American state? What for? I think it's not a secret for anyone that windows mobile is not free, but its cost is included in the cost of the device.

[e-ch!]

I am against it, because in our country the cargo does not reach the destination, they will plunder most of the money and then either bury the project or simply make their Linux distrib ...

do, and will issue for their own

Yes, what's your personal difference - will they steal here or will they be stolen when buying licenses for Windows? : lol:
You understand what's the matter, if all state offices are obliged to work not under Windows - this is already a Huge Step Forward!

[e-ch!]

and what is this step? : skull:

[rockin]

and what is this step?

Not what, but where! In the bright future! : lol:

[e-ch!]

rockin @ 10/09/07 11:17:39

Not what, but where! In the bright future! 

when the skins go to beat the "visitors" armature, they also consider it a step towards a bright future ........
so what is better for us? so that we will not pay Microsoft? and we can think always pay? IMHO now to conduct a survey of licensed Windows license will be 25-30 percent, and then because either they got it for free or the computer was with Windows right ... what have you got? I don’t understand at all, or do you believe that we will take it now, they will sit down And they will write axes by 2009, including the axis for the communes, but such that all of them will refuse? : rofl:

[rockin]

Do not refuse - make! : lol:

Today begins the CES exhibition in Las Vegas, however, this, one of the most important news for today, does not come from there. Thanks for the screenshots of Windows Mobile 7, you need the InsideMicrosoft blog, where they were posted with a detailed description.


The main feature of the new system is as many as three new ways to interact with the user: first, pay tribute to the iPhone and Surface from Microsoft, there is support for MultiTouch. Also, the device can be controlled by shaking and tilting it, which was already partially implemented by HTC on the X7500, but it was done using our own means. Well, and plus to everything, the device can now be controlled gestures.


The changes do not end there: Windows Mobile 7 will have a system of selective zooming of the image on the screen, a new virtual keyboard (I must pay tribute, very much like the iPhone), and much, much more. You can read more (in English) and see the screenshots in the InsideMicrosoft blog, because it’s almost impossible to describe everything in one news story.

Thanks for the news, really learned it before.
But the link helped to get acquainted with it.
I think version 7 of Windows will not save the company, most likely it will be taken by the androyd if su = itation with the software does not improve (and androyd will not get powerful office applications).

[spammer]

Well, what's the difference when I found out, the main thing is that the news is today.
PS: release date - 2009. Therefore, another year bastard on the everlasting axis.
PPS: what an android?

[Doktor-32]

Androyd part one
Androyd part two
In fact, it’s amazing that you didn’t hear about it !! : '- (

[Man Without A Face]

Thanks to the apple makers, shook up melkomyagky. :) There are microscopic chances that the next WM will be less “wooden”.

[Viy_a]

wait only long

[Doktor-32]

They do not need to be engaged in decoration and stupid management, but to bring closer in functionality to the version of the computer !!
And modify your software, and create a new one !!
