When Microsoft announced that Windows Phone 8 won't be availiable to any of the current generation phones, it clearly meant was "We accept Windows Phone 7 is a failure and we don't care for those users who bought them". This might have  upsetted a lot of its customers. But some loyal fan are still tryig to defend Microsoft with whatever means possible. Microsoft's senior product manager for Windows Phone Greg Sullivan in an interview said, "this clean break for Windows Phone 8 was by design and in fact part of the plan for the platform from the very beginning. Back when buyers were grabbing the very first Windows Phones, Microsoft was already working on Windows Phone 8 for future buyers only". Why would Microsoft's plan involve leaving early supporters in the cold? Apps, according to Sullivan, or more correctly developers building Windows Phone apps. They needed an installed base to get developers interested in creating apps, so they pushed Wi...

Microsoft's just released the Release Preview of Windows 8 yesterday. With Windows 8 Microsoft is trying to 'Kill two birds with one stone' i.e. its targeting both desktop PCs and Tablets. Can Microsoft succeed in this ambitious plan, we are certainly not sure. Here are some of the points that suggest Why it will be an utter failure bigger then Vista why:- Metro UI/UX- First and foremost thing users will notice when they boot up to Windows 8 will be a new interface. Gone are the traditional Windows UI elements like Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons, the gorgeous Aero glass effects, now everything is replaced with a gaudy colors that remind you of classical Windows 1x era. Instead of icons you will be greeted with big in your face tiles for each app that might remind you of Tetris or Lego building blocks or remember AOL 1996. The Start screen is your new desktop, Yes you read it right now you default d...

LG Electronics has backed off from Windows Phone smatphones and will focus on Google's Android, according to a report . This news comes with the announcement of Steve Ballmer headed to Seoul Digital Forum on May 22 where he will be meeting with various business and developers. Though LG claims to not know his business schedule the implication is that Ballmer may meet with LG for some damage control regarding their recent smartphone decision. LG has noted that Windows Phone 7, based devices hold less than 2% of the global smartphone market, according to multiple market analysts. “The total unit of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure,” said the LG spokesman, further elaborating that it currently has no plans of rolling out another LG-manufactured Windows phone soon. LG will now be putting resources into developing Android devices and needs to continue doing so to compete with Samsung and HTC devices. This is clearly a sign that not only consumers...

Metro UI on Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 is very unique, but if you are on Android tablet you cannot experience it. But its release for Android tablets has made it possible, ' BroBot175 ' from XDA developers has designed and released Metro UI for Android tablets giving them the Metro tiled look of Windows 8. The theme is flashable to your device using ClockworkMod recovery. It’s worth noting that the theme is in beta, but there is a website with instructions for installing the mod. Apparently, the mod will work on the Asus Transformer and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets right now. The beta release supports tablets running Android 4.0 and there are widgets under development just for the mod. If you don’t own either of the two tablets specified for support right now, another theme is coming that will support more tablets. The Metro UI theme will change your your homescreen and notifications panel. This release is a work in progress and many other things like Music widgets, bug...

Any guess, how much it costs a smartphone maker to build a phone, most of you will say CPU, memory, camera or the screen being the most expensive parts. But the correct option is licensing for the operating system. According to IntoMobile reports that ZTE is paying Microsoft about $27 for each Windows Phone it makes. ZTE’s Tania smartphone will hit markets starting from next month and will be running Windows Phone 7.5 OS. The smartphone    features a 4.3 inch screen with the same 800 x 480 pixel resolution that all Windows Phones are required to have, 1 GHz processor from Qualcomm, 5 megapixel camera, no front facing camera, which makes it no special phone except its killer pricing. This phone is currently sold by SFR at 270 euros without ZTE branding. That $27 per device is a lot of money, but it seems that smartphone maker is getting quite a bit for its money too. According to IntoMobile, that $27 licensing fee gets ZTE a list of the exact specs it needs to make a w...

Nokia last year announced that it will ditch its rusting Symbian OS and embrace Windows Phone 7 on their next generation phones. After nearly an year Nokia revealed Lumia range of phones featuring Windows Phone Mango. The result is a mixed bag one side you have possibly the most fluid OS on the phone ever with no lags, no frame skipping etc... The animations and transitions are very smooth, pinch to zoom, rotation are really smooth. The home screen is really attractive and very different, overall the whole OS is very minimal and has almost no chrome. The build quality of Nokia Lumia 800 and 900 are top notch, clear Black AMOLED screen is vey bright. While on the other hand it is just like Apple a walled garden by Microsoft. You cannot change much look or feel of the OS like Android, Bluetooth file transfer is prohibited(really??? Whats the use of of putting a Bluetooth inside), the apps are too far too few, official apps like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube are missing...
