A defect of not traveling, those who do not go to see the world, is to always think that theirs is best. This seems to be what happened to Microsoft with the release of Windows Phone 8. Although it is early to say whether the new attempt by the computer giant to paint something on the mobile phone will fail again or not, a review of the alleged new operating system shows that there is no novelty, particularly when compared with already offered by Android.
Here we go straight to the source. We have read the official post Microsoft's Windows Phone 8. I notice before I'm a fan of Android, its philosophy and freedom. But I also recognize that Microsoft has done well with their operating systems for computers. But in the field of mobile phones failed to see the revolution posed by smartphones (Android revolution began not only the iPhone, I must say). At the beginning of the last decade had the opportunity to lead it, but insisted on a path that only now are refocusing.
And now for these alleged developments both praise. At the end of the year 8 and Windows Phone will have support for multi-core processors. Seriously, know that Microsoft's system does not have support for dual core, of which there are a few Android on the market. Another strong point is its support for new screen resolutions with true high definition. Then came a year late.
Surprised me even more that Windows 8 will have support for MicroSD cards. So previous versions did not have it? And my first Android, G1, had its external storage card that I keep around. They also sell the virtues of communication via NFC. Something that brings Ice Cream Sandwich and my Nexus S includes a year ago. Here, the announced combination with SIM cards safe for use in payments is perhaps the only new thing I see. I could go with the theme of the new apps or maps (this time from Nokia), but not make more blood on the user side.
Side of the developers, nor are such developments, at least when compared to Android. With Windows Phone 8, payment system may include in-app in your applications. This to make free applications, especially games where once inside and can make small purchases there in recent years both in IOS as Android.
One thing I do like it. Anque existing devices with Windows 7.5 or less are not going to be upgraded to Windows Phone 8, all starting to come out later this year with the new operating system will receive future updates within 18 months of its launch. It's not a very big term, but at least give a date. In Android depend on what they say operators and manufacturers and there are many terminals less than a year still awaiting Ice Cream Sandwich.
I see only two things that really stand out in Windows Phone 8. One is aesthetic, making it very personal, but this way of presenting your screen in boxes of three different sizes is very visual and attractive. The other is Microsoft's bid for the business environment. Its new operating system includes topics such as data encryption or remote management, on Android, must implement parties, such as Samsung has recently done with its program for the Galaxy S3 SAFE.
Well, I think too little novelty to much noise. Still, that leaves a new operating system market is good for everyone, including Android. Competition is good. As demonstrated Windows Mobile for years, its market dominance holding back innovation and eventually failed. The more the better systems and applications will have to draw the attention of us users.
