Windows Phone 8 incoming, heres what you need to know
Microsoft Surface could be the last straw for Android tablets
It’s Surfaced again: the rumour that Microsoft is developing its own smartphone hardware in a bid to drive wider adoption of its Windows Phone OS. Ever since Microsoft distressed its desktop Windows OEMs by unveiling its own-brand tablet PC, called Surface, the logical leap required to imagine an own-brand Windows Phone has apparently been shrinking.
I have a System76 Lemur Ultra Thin (lemu4) running Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit Long Term Service and I also have VM Ware Workstation 9.0.0 64 bit running Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 in a 64 bit 50.00 GB guest virtual machine.
Microsoft Corporation is set to release Microsoft Windows 8, RT, and Phone 8 worldwide in October 2012.
Windows Phone 7, Microsoft’s big return to the smartphone stage after Windows Mobile’s gradual decline and demise, turns two today, according to a tweet by Joel Belfiore, Microsoft’s head of Windows Phone product definition and design.
Microsoft has published a support document on its website (via Engadget) that indicates both Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.8 will stop being supported in the second half of 2014, in July for Windows Phone 8 and September for 7.8.
Apparently, the blowback Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) got from Windows 8 RT OEMs for intending to directly compete with them in the tablet market with Surface wasn’t gutsy enough to impress the Redmond juggernaut, which, according to published reports, may be back at it with a Windows Phone 8 smartphone.
In a blog post earlier this week, Windows Phone Central (WPCentral, as referenced here), based on
Microsoft's three-day conference for web designers and developers -- MIX -- has just begun in Las Vegas. After a rather odd yo-yo-based introductory fanfare, details about Microsoft's upcoming products have already started to emerge.
Microsoft has released an SDK for Windows Phone 7.8 – aka the last ever update for Windows Phone 7 handsets, which have been orphaned by the company’s platform shift to Windows Phone 8 (built on a different kernel).
Windows Phone 7 has been getting a very public airing at Microsoft’s Tech.Ed 2010 in Australia, with demo handsets aplenty for attendees and journalists to play with, and with several sessions on business and consumer app development, Microsoft truly is “back in the game”, with Win Phone 7 devices shipping this year.
