Future Is All About Windows Phones: Nokia and Microsoft Join Hands

Soon or later we see the creative crafting technology of Smartphone from Nokia which comes with windows based mobiles or Smartphone concepts.

In recent times, we all know that Nokia joins hands of partnership with Giant Microsoft for their upcoming Nokia Windows based Smartphones. The developers of both giant corporation Nokia and Microsoft said that the upcoming Nokia based windows mobiles or Smartphones will be look like more or less like Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 but in more articulate or crafting manner rather than conventional designs.

But nevertheless, there are so many things which still under the table of Nokia and Microsoft because Nokia also wants to enhance their Symbian applications.

 Let’s see what happen in future in world of Nokia and Microsoft.

Unique Real and Useful Feature: Hotmail’s New Throw Away Email Accounts

Hotmail was my first Email ID that I created about 14 years back. Back then, using email for communication itself was new and exciting. However, now email has become an integral part of one’s daily lives.

Hotmail was really hot back then and anyone and everyone on the internet sported hotmail email ID. Scenario has changed drastically in the last decade. After Hotmail came Yahoo and then youngest of all Gmail. However, as it stands today, Gmail is THE best web mail clients – thanks to their innovation every step of the way. I hardly see anyone using Hotmail IDs now!

Last few years have seen only one trend – Google innovated and implemented, while others followed. That gave Gmail the edge and everyone wanted to be associated to them.

Now, probably after a decade, it is for the first time that Hotmail seems to done a “First” – which other 2 cannot boast of having:

Throw- Away Email Accounts or Alias Email Accounts!

With Hotmail’s Alias accounts, it becomes super easy. Just create an alias and share that. All your mails including Aliases, will fall in the same mail box. Each user can create up to five aliases, any of which can be deleted and replaced with another at any time. Over time, Microsoft will increase that limit to 15 aliases per account, making it so that the true heavy users won’t need to juggle between two or more Hotmail accounts.

This is also a great feature for people who do not want to share their real email ID – Just give your alias email ID and your original will always remain safe and annonymous !!

Windows 8 faster, easier, smaller...“mind blowing”

 
The tech industry is always about the next big thing. Even before the release of Windows 7 there were those speculating about the possible features and changes in the next version of Windows.

Confirmed for 2012 lunch 



More and more evidence is emerging that Windows 8 will be released in 2012.  At these years Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC 2009), budding attendees managed to get their hands on two Windows roadmap slides that show ‘Windows 8′ launching in 2012:

Now these slides don’t really provide any information that we didn’t know; Microsoft typically leave 3 years between each release and with Windows 7 launching this year, Windows 8 was always likely to be in 2012.  It is unlikely that Microsoft would pull Windows 8’s launch forward to 2011 because it would impact Windows 7 sales with customers delaying upgrades, and unlikely they would delay until 2013 as Windows 8’s development seems to be progressing quite nicely.

John Mangelaars, Microsoft’s Regional VP of Consumer and Online, was quoted as saying, “[Apple is] doing well on the PC side but Windows 7 is a blockbuster. We got it really right. For me, Windows 8 will be mind-blowing.” All of this rabble-rousing is great, but it doesn’t hold a ton of weight. Remember how Windows Vista was going to change everything? We agree with the VP, Windows 7 was a killer upgrade, and perhaps worth the wait; we can only hope the improvements, in speed and features, continue with Windows 8.

Here is the concept videos that I have found:

Windows 8 Concept

Of course, these are just a few concepts out there right now and many more will certainly pop up in the coming months. I’ll do my best to stay on top of the betas and early releases and keep the readers posted on any breaking stories about the next OS, but for now, looking at what the users want and come up with will have to make do. As always, stay tuned into High Technology News. If you’ve seen any good screenshots or conept videos, link them in your comments, because I’m always interested in seeing good concepts.

” Are you passionate about software performance? Are you excited by the potential to have a positive impact on hundreds of millions of users, by improving their Windows experience? The Windows Fundamentals Performance Test Team is look for a software design engineer who can help us do just that – make future releases of Windows faster, smaller, and more responsive than Windows 7. OS Fundamentals, and specifically performance were a major area of focus during Windows 7 and will be just as important if not more so, during the development of the next version(s).“. So how does this pan out? If you are a developer, and you are looking at OS development, your focus would be to change and improve Windows 7 to create a new operating system, Windows8. The next question is more interesting, how do you make Windows 8 faster and smaller and more responsive?

Given that the technologies that are under development and have been available to Microsoft, such as 128 bit processors with 6,8,12 or even 48 cores, the operating system will look very different if it is trying to work with these features. There are other technologies, for instance Solid State Drives will be replacing the traditional rotating head hard disk drives. Another technology is the light  (photon) based circuitry that will replace traditional wiring.

Touch and voice technology which came of age in Windows 7 will be in Windows8, and it will be interesting to see what the development will look like.
Embedded Systems, which need a stripped down version of the full operating system could benefit  from the new more compact Windows8 version.

Microsoft, HP and Adobe are preparing their offensive against Apple iPad

 
Flash Will it be the Achilles heel of Apple iPad? Roundly criticized by Steve Jobs himself, who refuses to integrate the iPad format, Adobe has released at least one video showing the future HP Tablet Slate ran it perfectly on this technology.


85% of websites and 75% of Internet videos using Flash. With Flash Player, HP Tablet Slate provides access to the entire Web, "says Alan Tam, head of marketing at Adobe Flash, which features examples of video sites, games, video clips, d 'photo albums or digital newspaper exploiting this technology.






Adobe is not the only publisher to parasitize the launch of the iPad, the marketing must begin April 3 in the United States. The U.S. webzine Engadget, for example, aired earlier this week a mysterious video revealing Courier, a concept of dual screen tablet Microsoft, close to the Booklet already announced by the Redmond company, the future Asus Eee Reader or the Nintendo DS XL.According to Engadget, this double slate could adopt the same operating system as the Zune and especially Silverlight competitor to Flash by Microsoft, whose mobile version will be unveiled in late March at the MIX conference organized by the publisher.


Despite the false start of Tablet PCs and other Smart Display, Microsoft and its partners seem in any case, determined to win the segment of touch pads, a market that could also invest in Google or Sony in the coming months ...
