Microsoft Details Forthcoming Windows Phone Improvements
Microsoft have outlined the changes that they'll be bringing to their new Windows Phone smartphone platform in 2011. The announcement was made on the Microsoft website in a press release earlier today and were timed to coincide with the first day of the World Mobile Congress exhibition in Barcelona.
The new features include...
- Twitter Integration in the People Hub.
- Support for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents that are stored on Microsoft;s cloud services. Currently Windows Phone 7 only suports OneNote in this regard.
- IE9 Mobile with HTML5 support for the phone browser
- Multi-tasking for third-party applications
These features are all slated for later in the year but the first update has now been confirmed for release in early March and will include CDMA support.
What's not been mentioned is better Exchange integration and support. Ironically for a Microsoft product this is somewhat lacking in the operating system so far and is the reason why Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets are still selling. Microsoft have said nothing about this but they badly need to provide a better experience for corporate and business users if they are to gain market share.
Also in the press release Microsoft said they had sold 2 million phone OS licences in the first two months, though how many of those licences are currently in use by the public remains to be seen. They also said that Windows Phone is being used by 60 mobile operators in 30 countries, which, let's be honest is worth shouting about.
They also said that their app marketplace now has 8,000 apps and 28,000 registered developers.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
