Microsoft- one of the greatest geek on todays computer world is being out dated due to its boring w7 modle mobile with many uncountable and silly flaws.
1. Microsoft really think that the world needs yet another black rectangular multitouch app phone design?
2. It doesn’t realize about the competitive and success stories about the apple and androids.
3. Doesn’t it realize that Apple has a three-year, 70-million-phone, 300,000-app head start? And that Google’s Android phone software has a two-year, estimated 30-million-phone, 100,000-app head start?
1. The name “Windows Phone 7” is misleading twice. First, it’s not Windows. It doesn’t look or work like Windows, doesn’t run Windows software, doesn’t even require a Windows PC. (There’s an iTunes-like program for loading the phone with music and videos, but it’s available for both Mac and Windows.)
2. Second, this is not “7.” That number implies some relationship to Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft’s latest phone software attempt, which is corporate, cramped and complicated. No, Windows Phone 7 is most definitely a 1.0 release.
3. That may sound like a slam. But “1.0” can mean “unfinished” as well as “a fresh start loaded with innovations.” So while Windows Phone 7 shows some real genius, it is missing an embarrassingly long list of features that are standard on iPhone and Android. Ready?
4. There’s no copy and paste. No folders for organizing your apps. No way to add new ringtones. No way to send videos to other phones as MMS messages. No video chat. No front-facing cameras.
5. And there’s no multitasking. You can play your own songs while working in other programs, but you can’t listen to, say, Pandora Internet radio.
6. Like the iPhone, the Web browser doesn’t play Flash videos on the Web — but it also won’t play the HTML5 videos that the iPhone plays, or even videos in Microsoft’s own Silverlight format. So, no youtube, no online news videos.
7. The e-mail program can’t unify your e-mail accounts into a single in-box. In fact, each e-mail account winds up as a separate icon on your home screen. There’s no message threading.
1. SOME OF TIS NOTABLE MERITS WHEN COMPARED TO THE OTHER TWO GEEKS ARE:
On any WP7 phone, there’s a dedicated camera button — and you can take pictures even when the phone itself is turned off, a fantastic feature. You can set up the phone so that it automatically uploads your photos to Facebook or Microsoft’s SkyDrive as you take them.
2. You can speak to dial, search Bing.com or open apps. Unfortunately, you can’t speak to type, as you can on the iPhone (with the free Dragon Dictation app) or Android (built-in).
3. Several apps are “hubs” — more ambitious, multiscreen programs, like Pictures, People or Office. How do you know that you can swipe to view the next panel? Because you see the edge of the next “page” peeking out from the edge of the screen. Clever.
4. Even the lock screen has been visited by the Good Idea Fairy. Without even fully waking the phone, you can see the date and time, your next appointment, and how many new messages await (e-mail, voice mail, texts).
5. First, Office. A WP7 phone comes with Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Still, considering that Office is supposed to be Microsoft’s strong suit, they’re weirdly stripped down
6. In case you’re not one of the six people who bought one, the Zune is Microsoft’s ipod rival. It was a flop, but its software is beautiful, its online store is rich and social, and the $15-a-month, all-you-can-listen plan turns your WP7 phone into an on-demand pocket radio.
7. If you own an Xbox game console, your statistics and avatar (an onscreen cartoon icon) show up on the phone, and a rich assortment of interactive games is already available.
8. Microsoft dictates minimum hardware specs to the companies making WP7 phones, so they’re rocket fast. The software responds to your touch fluidly and effortlessly, with animated flourishes that never get in your way.
Battery life is another story. As with similar phones, you’ll have to charge these early WP7 phones every night. And beware standby; these babies drain so fast overnight, you’ll think there’s a hole in them
Obviously, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do, and it will be a long time before its store offers a decent selection of apps. The company intends to deliver free software updates as it fills in the holes. In other words, for now, this may not be the phone you’ll want to buy. But it’s definitely a phone you’ll want to watch.
thank you
