KidZone search in a web page showing Android applications with the same name trademark information, which indicates that the registry key names may be a temporary placeholder.

KidZone features of other brands or SDK contains functions are not examples of child safety mode, so we can not accurately know the safety of children in the Windows Phone model is, but these registry entries exist intriguing, perhaps this is found new clues to the characteristics of a yet to be announced, and this feature is likely to appear in the updated SDK or still in development stage.

What we can confirm is that the Windows Phone on your phone, Windows Store will use the optional password protection, to prevent children from inappropriate or unauthorized purchases.

The Miraculous Month For Nokia

Previously, China's local phone after three to imitate tide: the first round by the appliance manufacturers to launch around 2000, can become a paste shell imitation cottage; the second round of MediaTek collaborative Shenzhen many cottage small factories, the Design House have launched can be called a workshop custom cottage; the latest launch of a mainly Chinese, cool, together, the four manufacturers led to the use of Spreadtrum, MediaTek chips and the Android operating system expansion.

Although they are imitating, but the domestic manufacturers, or have been self-transcendence. The first generation to imitate machine to seize the new market, especially the four-tier cities and below market, the second generation to imitate machine has been customized to seize LG, Samsung and their low-end market, while the new generation of custom machine has become the number one killer of Nokia are, they have strong channel capacity and better R & D capabilities.

Therefore, when Android and MediaTek have the stage to build a good, smart-phone Happy Valley field is no longer technology as barriers, with the enterprise of this stage, the final competition is the marketing channels, cost control, as 10 years before the domestic appliance industry, thousands of small manufacturers of home appliances, far more than the cottage phone number of vendors.

It is in this context, marketing, channels, and cost control advantage of the business is also expected to succeed, for example, China, cool, together, they all have at least two of the three, that is to have at least two-tone can QUICKER. Lenovo since into the original ZTE, Huawei and take advantage of the channel operators, sales achieve a multiplier.Similarly, millet, OPPO their main technical marketing, advertising through traditional advertising or Twitter virus, Brain Washing, occupy space in a particular market segment; while the number of Internet phone play, it is stimulating with low-cost mobile phone value-added services to make money.

However, when the Lenovo began hoisting, copy the success of the PC field, the "red tide" of this industry is coming, there is no advantage in the channel, marketing, and cost is difficult for enterprises to survive. For example, the control of the second generation of the cottage manufacturers have three or four-wire channels by the impact of channel operators and electricity suppliers will be greatly reduced, it is difficult to copy the success in the past. 

So, all I can see about this”red tide” is the world of electronic gadgets is elusive. And the only we can do is enjoy low price from the development of digital electronics.

The New Functions of Windows Phone8

The Windows Phone SDK preview allows us has a better understanding of Microsoft's best windows phones. The SDK includes a simulator that can access the Windows Phone 8 new features.

The new version of the beginning screen can change the size of active tiles allow users to customize the Start screen. Developer Summit in June, Microsoft Windows Phone 8 supports custom colors, but now it seems that the user only in the Settings menu select it provides a number of theme colors - There are approximately 20 bell available.

In addition to custom colors and start screen, here are two new features Microsoft hasn’t introduced. The first is the Data Sense (traffic monitoring) - one allows you to monitor Windows Phone 8 traffic usage of the built-in applications. Use it for the first time will ask you to set restrictions on the types of each, monthly or indefinitely also can be set to the reset date. We can also see the Data Sense can detect how much traffic. You can also nail it to the start screen, traffic is about to reach the limit it will be released to remind.

The second new feature is the data cloud backup. Microsoft has built-in Windows Phone 8 powerful backup capabilities, allowing users to applications, settings, and SMS data backup to the cloud. The images are automatically uploaded to SkyDrive is still there, now you can also upload video to the cloud.

The vast majority of the Application Center has been updated. Built-in map provided by Nokia, and supports offline download maps. In Internet Explorer address bar buttons now can be changed - This should be a lot of Windows Phone users would like to see, Xbox, and music / video center has also been updated user interface that closely matched with SmartGlass theme, or even direct access to the used to replace the Zune Xbox Music store.

The photos and the camera also been updated. Photo Center allows you to select multiple pictures to share, or delete operation, here are some editing options let you crop, rotate, or repair photos. As for the camera, Microsoft's new add Lenses feature, developers can add functionality to the need to use the camera. Now we can only test Bing Vision features, but here there is a link that lets you get more Lenses, so the future should have great use.

Now because it is no internal support for the simulator, even a Microsoft account can not test all the functions in the SDK. Microsoft apparently has plans to improve the many new features not yet announced officially. As for the more specific situation can only wait for Microsoft released Windows Phone 8 SDK officially, as well as the formal launch of Windows Phone.

OPPO Can Be A Windows Phones’ Manufacture?

The first echelon of the Windows Phone manufacturers system has been identified as Nokia, Samsung, Huawei, and HTC four second tier vendors system is equally curious. Microsoft Windows Phones division has dedicated team of vendors to business, has been examined a number of local mobile phone manufacturers on the domestic, which Oppo this mysterious team certainly, it is possible to move into the Windows Phone 8 in 2013 manufacturers echelon.

Microsoft Windows Phone system vendors charge licensing fees, but also from Microsoft Office to get the support of the promotion, and so if the Oppo into the Windows Phone camp, whether full payment of licensing fees, and whether it will get special treatment, being unable to do conclusive.

Oppo recently launched a 6.65 mm thick Finder known as the world's thinnest smartphone, its industrial design than other smart phone manufacturers a large part of this Windows Phone assignment by the team strongly optimistic about the Oppo's an important reasons.

Reference came before the relatively low hardware specifications wp8 device HTC Rio, Oppo the Finder powered by 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 processor and 1GB of RAM beyond the Windows Phone 8 minimum requirements. Retail price according to the the Oppo official of 2,498 yuan, according to this specification directly to the Oppo Finder 3 transition to the Windows Phone 8 platform, then the cost of the Oppo production Windows Phone devices, selling prices and profit margins will be able to get from the Finder 3 must reference.

In addition, another reason why Microsoft Oppo such a small phone manufacturers upstart value is not strong in its UI customization needs. Compared to UI customization, Microsoft would prefer to see the manufacturers to break out of the hardware, industrial design and product differentiation to avoid the formation of a differentiated way to produce re-dependent UI customization, Oppo in this regard is Microsoft appetite.

It is said that the Chinese market PC out of the volume comparable to the U.S., but Microsoft's royalty income is only 5% or less.

Who just entered the Chinese Windows Phone, terminal manufacturers, operators, distributors cooperation and the strengthening of the developer contact and so on, Simon Leung's departure is a loss.

With the iOS Android platform competition, Windows Phone no longer afford. According to Strategy Analytics latest data show that Windows Phone will reach 4% this year in the United States share.

The Characteristics of Window Phones

I guess windows phones may be the next generation cell phones, so I want to share something about the characteristics of window phones.

The main characteristic of windows phones

Enhanced Windows Live experience, including the latest source of subscription, and the Windows Live photo sharing across major social networking sites.

Better email experience on the phone the direct management of multiple accounts through Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile office suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other components.

Windows Live Media Manager synchronize files on the phone using Windows Media Player to play media files.

Redesigned Internet Explorer mobile browser does not support the Adobe Flash Lite.

Windows Phone SMS function integrated Live Messenger (commonly known as MSN).

Windows Marketplace for Mobile and online backup service, Microsoft My Phone, App Store service has also been open simultaneously, which provides a variety of customization services, such as the theme.

Dynamic magnets

Live Tile is a new concept in WP, this is Microsoft's Metro concept has been suspended with Microsoft Kin is very similar. Metro is the function of the rectangular graphical interface combo box is a signature design of the Zune. Metro UI to give users a glance and go Metro UI personality dynamic brick (Live Tile) experience. Even WP7 is in Idle or Lock mode, still support the Tile update. Mango in the application can support more than one of the Live the Tiles. Mango update and expansion capabilities of the Live Tiles will be more obvious, Deep Linking both can be used in Live Tiles can also be used in Toast notice. Live Tile only supports portrait layout, which is the phone to horizontal, the direction of the Live Tiles will not change.

Metro UI is an interface display technology, and Apple iOS, Google's Android interface the biggest difference is: the latter two are to apply as the main rendering objects, while the Metro interface to emphasize that the information itself, rather than the redundant interface elements. Display function of the next part of the interface elements on the main function is to prompt the user "here for more information. In visual effects, which contribute to the formation of an immersive feel.

The interface concept was first applied to the Windows Phone system is now also introduction of Windows8 operating system. (It can be the best windows phones)

Chinese input method

Windows Phone Chinese input method can be said that so far the most comfortable of the major smartphone operating system. First of all, it inherits the adaptive capacity of the English soft keyboard habits based on user input, automatically adjusts the touch to identify the location. Your typing if total left all key touch position is moved slightly to the left point, and vice versa. Comes with a rich vocabulary in the mobile phone input method is also rare. Network buzzwords such as "to force mud horse bully real horse, yikes, red songs, cooking oil, Jocie Kok, bare official founding of Albert," and so on are all in the column, common brands such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Beijing Ke Long, Jingdong, Dazhong, Gome Google "and so on are also readily available, and even more dialects of, for example, enter" nxp "" Mother Xi horses. It is worth mentioning is that the system comes with Chinese input method, you do not need to enter anything you can select the "good", "ah," and "you" and "I", "" some of the most commonly used short reply, you can improve your typing efficiency in every detail. Finally, the input method Full keyboard, squared, handwriting and other three modes are available. It should be noted is the input method so far, no stroke mode, which is a slight inconvenience for some customary stroke input.

Contacts (People Hub)

People Hub is called "contacts", but its basic function is equivalent to the "Contacts" in the traditional sense, but the enhancements a few times with various social networking updates, real-time cloud synchronization. There was a slight change in the mango inside Peo ple Hub of the Home tile. Before its live tile is divided into nine pieces, which turns to show the contact picture. Mango which is introduced in a large head, accounting for four small squares so that each contact has a full opportunity to show their Second is the contacts groups introduced. In addition to the already mentioned features, grouped in user-friendly is also worth mentioning. Family (family) packet that comes with, which is empty by default, and automatically all the same surname with you, we recommend removal of contacts to join the group. Significance of this function is not very large, for example, like relatives of the wife, wife's mother, uncle, not love, of course, the unless Xiankang just the same surname. System to provide users with the convenience of a little more than earn a little.

Market (Marketplace)

Similar to the iOS in the Marketplace where to download an application and return immediately to the application list interface (if you download the game jump to the Xbox Live interface), immediately inside the Display icon, the following is the download progress. Previous progress bar only the download reaches 100%, into the long "Installing" stage, and other tips. Download and install each half to 50 percent when the download is complete, 100% installed. Also Microsoft applications store for Windows Phone system phone user to provide some mobile phone manufacturers proprietary applications, these applications, only you and you use this brand of mobile phone users have, and others can not use! Nokia and Microsoft, in order to further promote the development of Windows Phone platform for mobile phones can be described best. Nokia has the world's leading interactive entertainment software company EA cooperation, introduce a variety of popular game on Windows Phone platform. Microsoft and Nokia inject $ 24 million for the new Windows Phone application development.

Zune sync

Zune software like iOS users desktop client management software iTunes, as a Windows Ph one phone with the desktop client management software, users can Zune for Windows Phone mobile phone to install the latest system update, download applications and games, as well as management and synchronize music, video and picture content. Zune is also an interface elegant, powerful desktop-side media playback system, and has many media player software does not have a picture slideshow function, users can use the Zune unified management of multimedia files of the PC side. Windows Phone 8 will cancel the Zune desktop client in favor of Windows Phone desktop synchronization applications, Microsoft said the Zune music will be the Xbox Music in the form of quickly in Windows 8, WP mobile phone platform, Xbox launch.

Software Management

Windows Phone all applications installed the first letter of the classification. Each class in front of a large letter, click exhaled full-screen alphabet, select a letter to jump to the corresponding group, hold much stuff, looking for an application can click on three or four times. At present, we found that grouping the letters of view is based on the number of installed applications automatically appear. If you installed only ten to twenty applications, the application list is the same as before, nothing special, scroll up and down looking for, anyway, do not bother. Once the application is more than a certain number will automatically activate the grouping view. In addition to the outside of convenience, this view there is a more humane highlights. Somewhat similar system does not support the language were all thrown into the bottom of the "Z" group. WP7 inside "Z" is followed by a group of signs is the Earth, said "other languages". The application of pure Chinese name of the property in there.

Language Support

Released in February 2010, Windows Phone supports only five languages: English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Windows Phone Marketplace allows the purchase and sale of applications: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States in 17 countries and regions.

Microsoft in the issuance of this operating system, the main target is the general consumer market, rather than the previous version aimed at the enterprise market. It was first released in Europe, Singapore and Australia on October 21, 2010, and is followed on November 8, the same year in the United States and Canada, in Mexico on November 24 issue. Asia is expected to issue the first quarter of 2011. Windows Phone, Microsoft will apply the use of interface design language called "Metro" (has been used in the Zune), and Microsoft and other third-party software integrated into the operating system to strictly control the operation its hardware.

Now with the Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) update already supports Chinese, including 35 languages. The next version of Windows Phone7.5 (Tango) will support 125 languages.

The History of Windows Phones

Windows phones as a new generation cell phone, we may enjoy the moment when we hold it, but do you know the history of Windows Phones? Are you curious about it?

As early as in 2004, Microsoft began to plan codenamed "Photon" and develop Windows Mobile as a major release update, but progress is slow, and finally the whole project was canceled.

Until 2008, Microsoft re-organize the Windows Mobile team and renamed Windows Phone, and continue to develop a new mobile operating system. The original plan it's the official version was released in 2009, but many aspects of the delay to make Microsoft's decision to use Windows Mobile 6.5 to the transition. Windows Phone R & D overnight. One of the consequences is that the old Windows Mobile application not work correctly in Windows Phone system. Larry Lieberman (Larry Lieberman), a mobile operating system in Microsoft's product manager, said: "If we had more time and resources, perhaps we can do to improve its backward compatibility." Lieberman pointed out that Microsoft had tried to wait and see the mobile phone market with a new perspective and pay more attention to the use of end-users (End-user) experience, rather than as in the past to focus on the intranet. Windows Phone development department, vice president Terry Myerson (Terry Myerson) said: "In order to borrow not to use the stylus to shift the capacitance-type touch screen, and other hardware changes to improve the Windows Phone system user experience, we have to break the Windows Mobile 6.5 application compatibility. "

In February 2010, Microsoft formally to show the Windows Phone operating system.

What’s the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0?

Last article, we know that Windows Phones can’t upgrade to WP8.0, so what’s the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0?

In fact, so far, Microsoft has just announced a small part of functions about the Windows Phone 8, more features will be announced later. However, according to the available information, the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0 is mainly reflected in the following ten points.

1. Windows CE and Windows NT

The difference of kernel can be said the most fundamental difference of these two versions, WP7.8 is the Windows CE kernel, but the WP8.0 is the Windows NT kernel. WP7.8 by using the Windows CE kernel ensure the smooth operation of the phone system, but can not manage a higher standard hardware and software platforms, and WP8.0 will support multi-core processors, more powerful computing capability .

2. IE 9 and the IE 10

WP8.0 use the browser is IE version 10, WP7.8 is still for the IE 9. Compared to IE WP7.8, WP8.0 10 used with the desktop version of the HTML rendering and JavaScript performance boost four times the HTML 5 performance improvements of 2 times.

3. Skype

I think many people are aware of Skype, which is an online real-time voice communication tool that can provide free high-definition voice conversations with other users, in the last year Microsoft acquired Skype for $ 8.5 billion. For the difference between WP7.8 and WP8 is WP7.8 Skype features as a separate application requires a separate download, and Microsoft sucked Skype integrated into WP8 system, the user calls over the Internet just like a regular telephone via Skype in general,

4. RCS-e (the carrier's data service side)

RCS-e function allows the operators add some custom data services in "contacts" of the mobile phone, such as VOIP. VOIP phone can direct dial from the telephone dial-up interface of Windows Phone. The feature same with Skype, the WP7.8 belongs to a separate application, WP8 is fully integrated into the phone system.

5. DataSmart (data flow view software)

This function is used to allow the user to monitor data, like the Skype and RCS-e, WP8.0 integrated this function into the system, but WP7.8 is downloaded as a separate procedure.

6. Voice Command

Though WP7.8 and WP8.0 also support the same voice command features, and procedures for dialogue, but the WP8.0 voice command feature will bring more to upgrade, that it means the voice command of the WP8.0 will have more many choices.

7. Voice Search

Same with the voice commands, voice search in the WP8.0 version will also be upgraded, but will also bring enhanced television recognition function, the function of this is before we do not know, but from a naming point of view, this feature should be navigation for user through the voice of television programs.

8. Cloud Services

Cloud services are also the main push of a feature in smart phones nearly two years. WP7.8 above, cloud services can only Office OneNote, 356 and other synchronization to the cloud, and WP8.0 function of the cloud can be all data synchronized to the cloud.

9, Visual Voice Mail

The WP7.8 only supports the visual voice mail in some countries, while the WP are supported in all countries.

10. OTA Automatic Update

WP7.8 does not support OTA automatic update feature will only push the update notice. WP8 is to upgrade the OTA functionality to support the mobile phone automatically updated.

The Summary of the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0: in fact, blows the hardware aspects, WP8 and WP7.8, have many differences in the functional experience, but from the information available, these differences are not very affect our daily lives. But these are not the focus, I want to say: compared to Apple iOS and Google Android smart platform promote the localization process vigorously; Microsoft has a tough way to go.

What Should We Do—Windows Phones Can’t Upgrate to WP8?

Compete with Android and iOS intelligence platform, Microsoft launched Windows Phone with fresh Metro interface to the homogenization of the phone UI bring about some changes, with a series of avant-garde experience in desktop customization, icons, drag, slide control, which approbated by many mobile phone users. And associated with Nokia, it would guarantee the market share of Windows Phone effectively.

However, in the recently, Microsoft Developer Summit, Microsoft also made an important decision, announced that existing cell phone will not be able to upgrade to the Windows Phone 8 system, which gives Nokia the "relatives" a little trouble . This means that the first generation models of Samsung and the second-generation Nokia Lumia 800 models will all have been to give up.

Although this approach of Microsoft Windows Phone make users feel disappointed, even a bit cruel, but that does not mean that Microsoft has abandoned the existing Windows Phone devices completely. As compensation, Microsoft provides the service that all current WP7.5 phone upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8 system.

This slight "comfort" decision of the measures, also attracted the curious eyes of a lot of Windows Phone mobile phone users.
