With the ongoing fight between Android and IOS to achieve greater market share, we find it rare to see Windows Phone as a possible rival. And is not that Microsoft does not deserve to be considered, but that its new mobile operating system currently has a market share of 1.9%, compared with 18% of IOS and the overwhelming 47.4% of Android.

According to iSuppli released a few days ago, half of the major multinational IHS, the Nokia Lumia 900 has meant the beginning of the “comeback” of the Finnish company, in addition to also be a big boost to Microsoft operating system to recover positions the business of mobile operating systems.

“The core of Windows Phone 8 is substantially different than those in Windows Phone 7, it will be the same kernel as Windows 8 is used,” said the chief executive of Vodafone. “See it from a technical side; what will be two to three years are exactly the difference between a very flat PC with a touchscreen, a tablet and a smartphone?”

Microsoft will charge for half Android devices

Microsoft gets a fee for more than half of all Android devices sold worldwide; that the company announced Sunday. The past four months ended Microsoft with Nine Android Manufacturers licenses.

Through agreements with manufacturers like HTC and Samsung, Microsoft now for over half of all Android Phones sold a fee. The amount of this fee is unknown, but it would be amount of 5 to 15 dollars per unit.

In June, Google announced that every day 500,000 Android devices were activated. This number is expected to become much higher. In the second quarter of 2011 were more than 46 million worldwide Android Phones sold.

Microsoft owns many patents in the field of mobile technology which would use Android without a license. Android is being developed by Google, but marketed by manufacturers of devices.

Common system of road: Windows 8 approaches the Windows Phone

With Windows 8, the plates and computers a common system with clear features of Windows Phone, Microsoft looks to plan a common system for all units regardless of size.

When Microsoft showed off Windows 8 to develop the conference BUILD were surf boards, among the devices that the system was demonstrated on and the tiles, or panels, which are key in Windows Phone will now also show up in the surf boards and computers with Microsoft’s systems.

Rendering the system more suitable for touch screens is a much needed improvement over the limited index support in Windows 7. The so-called Metro-interface panels are consistent in Windows 8, even if you might have to set the system so that you get the familiar Windows look if you would prefer it.

The version we are now launching will therefore be in the computers and surf boards, but there is evidence to suggest that future versions of Windows will be common for both phones as computers and plates.

The site ZDNet have found extracts from CVs for centrally positioned individuals within Microsoft and HTC, which both describe the preparation and an upcoming version of Windows, called Apollo, that will combine Windows 8 and Windows Phone.

Samsung confirm Tablet with Windows 8

At the same time, we have the right unboxing the worst in the world, already the practice is deplorable, and more so if the film type is 90 degrees, it’s just horrible. But in short, it is there, few hours before the start of the keynote build of Microsoft, Samsung Tablet with Windows 8 leaked. Well, as in all the unboxing, you cannot see absolutely anything apart from the tablet itself.

But it happens! Expect big announcements in the days / hours ahead. Note that apparently this will be a bar of development; nothing says Samsung Tablet with Windows 8 will emerge in the public distribution. It remains on the watch anyway!

Edit: apu bin good videos of the unboxing Samsung Tablet with Windows 8, there must have been broken fingers under the Rangers of Steve Ballmer. 

The Windows Phone of Nokia will arrive in Portugal in 2012

While it is now confident that Nokia will present the first (or early) Windows Phone in October and then throw them into the European market in the coming weeks, the same seems that not all countries will receive these devices before 2012. One of the latest evidence comes from the fact Pocketpt.net Portuguese portal where a user, Felipe, was asked directly to Nokia Portugal busy time of the next Windows Phone:

     @ Felipe – The Nokia Windows Phone will be available in Portugal in the early months of next year.

No doubt, but for Italy, we will be lucky to be among the first to test the new series of Nokia smartphones with Microsoft software (Windows Phone).

Stephen DeWitt: ”HP Pre 3 still be launched in some countries”

WebOS is not dead, is what ensures Stephen DeWitt, head of the division. During an interview he stated a couple of interesting things that give rise to believe that within HP is a huge lack of communication. DeWitt says HP Pre 3 still released in some countries, despite already were writing obituaries about this equipment, since the division of personal devices HP has been on the ropes until arrangements are finalized.

If you itemize what the leader of WebOS trying to do, we can deduce easily that want to finish the stock at all costs of equipment that might make while HP was excited, or at least before the arrival of Leo Apotheker as CEO company, as claimed by several sources, does not believe much in the hardware environment that makes the company the lead.

But what’s interesting about the story, though much they tried not revealed the countries where they sell the team, is he still have faith the operating system and according to them the support will continue with the same enthusiasm that started – something I find hard to believe after what Microsoft started making and the future so cloudy right now is the platform.

Special Windows Phone 7

Until a few years ago the phones were not fully connected or not there were services that would justify the cost. The only way to communicate with your terminal was physically connect a cable to the PC and exchange data. Normally sync contacts and appointments, or were you copied photos, music and video.

Even the installation of the applications was done in this way, so the use of the Internet was limited in most cases to read e-mail or update the weather forecast.

The smartphone had necessarily needs a PC to allow you to backup and sync if you do not want to lose data irretrievably.

Today things have changed markedly, the explosion of social networks, the ability of modern browsers and various smartphone market dedicated, united cost reductions of flat connections of the mobile operators have made that operating systems always work related.
