Windows Mobile is dead, long live Windows Phone

February 20, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Review, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone

There was a time when Windows Mobile was one of the most used operating system on smartphones and PDAs. But as the carefree times of Internet Explorer went on slipping away, so he went and market share of Windows Mobile. Microsoft had sex again in one ear and woke up that is far behind the competition in terms of technology.

This is going to get too much play to move quickly. Wilt and you put yourself in the race others. Then have to pull hard to recover. So is Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows Mobile. Two similar mistakes that, if their interests known, Microsoft would have to make them.

Windows Mobile was a great operating system at a time. Then came Apple and Google with their claims too-zoom and made Windows Mobile look a quaint old man. Microsoft woke up so that Windows Mobile is far behind the times and competition. And so decided it was time to put foot down and come up with something new.

Windows Phone is not a phone

Last week Google kid that we did not find a more inspired name for the buzz. Nor those from Microsoft not seem inspired. Windows Mobile version will be called from Windows 7 Phone.

It is not just a marketing găselniţă inspired. Plus it is clearly the source of inspiration in choosing this name: Google Phone. The difference is that Google chose this name for a phone, even if the phone was manufactured by HTC. Microsoft Phone is given a name Windows operating system, not a phone. That in the future Microsoft could sell under their own brand handsets made by other manufacturers, is nothing.

In other news there will be a Windows Mobile 7, but a Windows Phone 7 Series. Has not yet announced any phone to run this version.

Programs, themes and free games for mobile phones

February 06, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Applications, Symbian Application, Windows Mobile, android

Almost all mobile phones today offer the least support for Java, so you do not necessarily need a smartphone to enjoy a companion for you to provide more than just plain communication. Sure, a smart phone running some software allows more complex – that is why in this article we will recommend the general sites (where you find programs of all sorts, themes, Ringtones, Wallpapers, Free Games, etc..), As and sites with applications for advanced operating platforms. As you see, free phone content is found in abundance on the Internet. I intentionally omitted the official sites (App Store, Android Market, Ovi Store etc..) Deorece I consider to be already known to readers.

General

http://www.zedge.net/

zedge.net site is a clean, well structured, where you find themes, ringtones, videos, wallpapers, sms predefined and games. Before download an application must specify which phone model you own, to adapt the program / theme (if possible) to its operating platform and screen. After downloading a number of applications required to register. Registration is free. A similar site, but with a tinge of hi5 May is mobile9.com.

http://getjar.com/

It is probably best known site for mobile applications. There are a lot of programs for all platforms. Programs are grouped by category (games, socialization, productivity, health and so on), are accompanied by a fairly comprehensive and user comments module.

http://www.mobilerated.com/

Mobilerated.com welcomes us colored pages in tabloid style, but once you click on the tab “Downloads” everything is clarified. The site includes free applications, trial, for cost or accompanied by ad-ware. As the above cases, you must specify the phone model you want to run the application.

Windows Mobile 7 will get with Zune HD?

January 19, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - News, Windows Mobile

Many expected Microsoft to launch a new version of Windows Mobile, version 7 in particular, in the Mobile World Congress, which will begin on February 15. But if the rumors will be confirmed, Windows Mobile 7 will mean the end of all WM applications so far, at least in the form that I knew. An anonymous developer told those of MobileChrunch the new version of software is radically different from current 6.x version and is not compatible with any previous version, so far applications fate could be sealed.

WinMo 7 appears to be, essentially, a copy of the kernel’s Zune HD. We support a single screen size and will work best with OLED displays. Microsoft will give formal specifications of hardware manufacturers and will force them to comply, otherwise denying access to the operating system. The specifications will include not only fixed size of the screen, but the size of RAM and minimum processor speed.

The interface will look the same as the Zune’s HD, with some controls built phone. So it is expected a multi-touch screen with a lot of media controls.
