Nokia is interested in Tablet Windows 8

detail berita

Nokia said it has agreements with Microsoft's future plans, to produce smartphones based on Windows Phone 7. But apparently, the Finnish mobile phone vendor also interested in Windows 8 tablets.

Reported by the Tech Tree, on Monday (1/11/2011), CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop said today the company will focus on devices like the Nokia Lumia 800 and 710.

"We do not have specific plans for the tablet, but we are very excited about the support on Windows phones and also on Windows 8 and tablet personal computers," said Elop.

"The next time you see the users of the Nokia Lumia appeared on hundreds of millions of tablets, and PCs in the future, then you will see the synergy of it all. It provides an exciting opportunity for Nokia," said Elop.

Microsoft also now seemed busy with plans Windows 8, so there is no news about the emergence of tablet windows 8.

It seems to be interesting if Nokia comes with the tablet. But the presence of tablet Nokia later, will greatly depend on the success of its smartphone on the market.

Brandon Watson Challenges Web Personalities to try Windows Phone, Will Donate $1000 to Charity if They Don't Like It

Written By Penulis on Minggu, 24 Juli 2011 | 22.47

Do you think more people should give Windows Phone a chance and try it out for themselves? You can do your part by sharing with your friends and loved ones, but if you're as well-connected as Microsoft's Brandon Watson you can issue a true "Windows Phone Challenge". That's exactly what he's been doing, promising to send web personalities frustrated with Android a developer device running Mango. Why? To win some good buzz of course!

The first person to receive Watson's challenge is the famous Dilbert creator Scott Adams, posting the comment on a rant Adams wrote about his frustrations with other phones. Here's the interesting part of the challenge:

Give [Windows Phone Mango] an honest run, and if you don't love it more than either of your iPhone or Android experiences, I'll make a $1000 donation to the charity of your choice. You can't really lose on this deal.

Watson has promised the same exact terms to CNET's Molly Wood through his Twitter account. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved: Windows Phone gets good press, Adams and Wood get to try a smartphone for free, and if they don't like it $1000 will go towards charity! Talk about good PR.

HTC Omega & Eternity cases discovered, phones not included

Remember that rumored HTC Eternity? The one with a 4.7" display, 1.5GHz processor and a body exactly like the Desire HD? Well we didn't buy it at first but now evidence is starting to appear in the rumor's favor. PocketNow received a pair of new photos that reveal cases for the aforementioned beastly superphone as well as it's smaller 3.8 inch display brother, the HTC Omega. We still don't know what the HTC Omega actually looks like so we can't tell if the case above is a match, but that HTC Eternity case looks like it matches up exactly to the leaked pictures we've seen. Just below we've whipped up a quick comparison of the two, so you can see for yourself.

Also judging based on the distance between the camera/flash/speaker section and the bottom of the case, the Eternity really could have a 4.7" display. It appears much longer than a normal Desire HD case (see photo) which is for a 4.3" screen. So let's ask you dear readers: is the HTC Eternity for real?

Analyst: Nokia "losing ground too fast", Windows Phone may not be enough

Let's clear up one thing right from the start: analysts are paid to tell you their opinions. Opinions aren't facts, they are, well, opinionated. However some analysts are wise and well-connected, so their personal takes on events or the market can prove to be useful and may shed more light on a subject than we knew. To that end, Bernstein analyst Pierre Ferragu has offered his thoughts on Nokia's future--specifically that they may not have one.

Just like many other corporations this week, Nokia revealed its Q2 earnings and the results were, frankly, bad. The company has dramatically lost a foothold in the smartphone market and even its once-dependable low-end devices aren't selling as well as they once used to. Ferragu warns that this kind of dramatic loss in market share may be extremely difficult to recover: "Nokia's brand is losing ground too fast". He also feels that the manufacturer's much discussed partnership with Microsoft is "unlikely to be successful" and that, "no third ecosystem will have a chance to emerge" against the combined Android and iOS assault.

Microsoft has to be commended for their extremely aggressive push to get Windows Phone into the market, but they're also relying heavily on Nokia's promise to ship devices in volume. With the manufacturer's performance quickly deteriorating and still no knowledge of when their first devices will be released, did Microsoft pick the wrong stablemate? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

Hardware Compatibility Warning messages found in Mango, Fragmentation in its Infancy

Written By Penulis on Sabtu, 23 Juli 2011 | 14.31

We all knew this day was coming, and with the Mango beta in the hands of developers we've received our first real look at how Windows Phone will handle fragmentation. MobileTechWorld spotted a small warning message just below Foursquare's tile in its Marketplace page and when tapped on the above 'Compatibility Warning' message appears, detailing exactly why your phone may not be up to snuff. In this case, Foursquare's compatibility warning is most likely a bug instead of an actual hardware conflict (the app claims the Omnia 7 doesn't have a camera). Still, many have called this the first sign of fragmentation; we disagree.

Why? Windows Phone is already fragmented. In case you forgot about the entire NoDo debacle, that's fragmentation--when phones are receiving the same core update at different times. While it's nothing as severe as Android where not even one software update is guaranteed to the end user, Windows Phone is still already fragmented. In the future, Windows Phone's actual hardware fragmentation will be similar to that of iOS where a Generation 1 device may not be compatible with an app that was written for Generation 3. So don't start panicking and rioting in the streets--the overwhelming majority of Mango apps most likely won't affect current devices.

Microsoft to complete Skype buyout by October

We haven't heard much lately about Microsoft's intentions to buyout popular VoIP service Skype for a massive $8.5 billion. That's now changed, with AFP reporting that Microsoft is close to completing the deal with many expecting its completion by October. That's according to current Skype CEO, Tony Bates, who also mentions that the last remaining obstacle facing the deal's closure are European regulators, who have had a rough history with Microsoft before. He also briefly discussed just how Microsoft plans to approach Skype as its own division and how you can expect the name to stick around:

Bates said Skype would constitute its own division at Microsoft, a move that he called "unprecedented" for an acquisition by the US software giant.

"I'm a peer president to the other five presidents that run the businesses," he said, reporting to Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer.

Bates said he does not expect any re-branding of Skype once it is owned by Microsoft.

Microsoft is getting "one of the greatest brands in the consumer Internet space," he said. "It is a verb. People talk about it in that way. They say Skype me.

"So, you can expect no change," he continued. "You can expect strong commitment to the brand."

Those statements should be a sigh of relief to anyone worried Microsoft would tamper with the service so many millions of people use around the world. We're eagerly looking forward to any news about possible Skype integration in Mango, but since the original rumor news has been dead silent and it may be a stretch to think Microsoft could complete it so quickly. Still, thanks to Mango's new socket APIs, we know that a standalone app for Skype is still on its way so something is better than nothing!

Debunked: HTC Ruby an Android phone after all

Written By Penulis on Jumat, 22 Juli 2011 | 21.11


Yesterday we reported on new photos from Flickr that supposedly displayed the HTC Ruby. There was a possibility that the device could have been a Windows Phone, due to the Ruby codename once referencing Sprint's HTC Arrive. That's not the case anymore: PocketNow has written a followup based on newer photos they've found and they heavily suggest the Ruby is in fact an Android phone that's destined for T-Mobile. The icons in the camera app seen in the photo above gave away Ruby's Android-lovin' nature.

There's still a tiny smidgen of a chance that the Ruby could be Windows Phone since we know HTC loves to flat out ignore Metro at times, so it's possible this could be an included HTC camera app. But that's stretching it and we think it's safe to assume that Windows Phone Mango won't be shining on this Ruby.

Windows Phone Mango RTM build complete (Update: Denied by MS)

We really have to make a habit of listening in on the Windows Phone Dev Podcast more often. It was revealed on last night's show that Mango is complete on Microsoft's end of the equation and is now at an RTM (release to manufacturers) build. Also, carriers already have Mango with them as well and have begun testing the release for their phones. There isn't much else to say, except that this isn't some kind of big shock reveal. With the Nokia Sea Ray rumored to have been running a final build in its leaked video and the Fujitsu IS12T set to be revealed next week, we'd be more surprised if Microsoft hadn't given the RTM build yet. Still, this is a big milestone and confirms that Microsoft has stayed true to its word of a Fall release...now we'll see if carriers and manufacturers can hold up their end of the bargain this time.

Update: Microsoft's Bill Cox mentioned earlier today via his Twitter that Mango is actually not in the RTM stage yet and teases for us to 'stay tuned'. See it for yourself here.

LG Fantasy Leaked in Product Roadmap, the sole new Windows Phone from LG?

PocketNow landed on a huge pile of information thanks to a leaked product roadmap for LG's smartphones. Within that roadmap contained what is most likely LG's upcoming Mango handset: the LG Fantasy. Unfortunately no details were given so we don't know much outside of the requisite specs for all Windows Phones. Just looking at the render above, we can see there may not be a front-facing camera either. However an interesting note was made about the design of the handset:

One thing that's clear from its appearance: LG seems to be using the same design cues seen on its top-tier Android devices, eschewing the somewhat plasticky look associated with its first-gen Windows Phones. A fourth quarter release is also likely here.

We just so happen to agree with their observation because the Fantasy looks gorgeous. Sadly though, it appears the Fantasy may be the only Windows Phone handset to come from LG this time around although it's still possible we'll see a carrier-exclusive version like the Quantum. We can't say we blame them--they've already reduced their phone sales expectations for the year and LG's latest and greatest are still being overshadowed by local bully Samsung. Just give them a break!

HTC Ruby might be a Windows Phone, definitely is stylish

We've always said that Windows Phone needs to have some interesting hardware in order to stand out among the flood of generic Android slabs. Now we've spotted interesting photos of a stylish new HTC phone and there's a good chance it could be Microsoft-friendly. The phone is seen in the reflection of an HTC Flyer tablet in multiple photos uploaded to Flickr by user "Raymi0402" and according to the EXIF Info, the device is identified as the HTC Ruby. That's notable because the HTC Ruby was originally rumored to be Sprint's first Windows Phone and after the release of the HTC Arrive many assumed the codename was retired.

Now that this device has emerged with the same name, it's possible it could also be a Sprint Windows Phone. Unfortunately we can't tell much about the device, even the megapixel count is unknown because every photo is at the basic 368 x 640 resolution. It is worth mentioning though that the Ruby could very well be an Android or Brew device--the only reason Windows Phone is also speculated is due to the history behind the Ruby codename. With Mango hardware news slowly but surely trickling out and the first device to be fully exposed next week, we may not have to wait much longer to see if this Ruby shines with Windows Phone on it.

Microsoft Reports Record Earnings, Skips over Windows Phone

Written By Penulis on Kamis, 21 Juli 2011 | 13.39

Microsoft just released its Q4 earnings report and as expected, reached a new record of $17.37 billion in revenue for the quarter ending in June. This is phenomenal news and its mostly due to the Xbox 360's powerful hold in the gaming market here in the United States (which was given a nice shot in the arm with Kinect). However, we can't help but notice the complete lack of news about Windows Phone in this initial report. Still, everyone knows current Windows Phones aren't exactly selling like hotcakes so it's likely Microsoft ignored it in the report. Don't worry though, the company is almost guaranteed to be asked about it during its live conference call later today (5:30 PM EST, stream it here). For more on Microsoft's record year, read the full press release after the break.

REDMOND, Wash. — Jul. 21, 2011 — Microsoft Corp. today announced record fourth-quarter revenue of $17.37 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, an 8% increase from the same period of the prior year. Operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $6.17 billion, $5.87 billion, and $0.69 per share, which represented increases of 4%, 30%, and 35%, respectively, when compared with the prior year period.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, Microsoft reported record revenue of $69.94 billion, a 12% increase from the prior year. Operating income, net income, and diluted earnings per share for the year were $27.16 billion, $23.15 billion, and $2.69, which represented increases of 13%, 23%, and 28%, respectively, when compared with the prior year.
“Throughout fiscal 2011, we delivered to market a strong lineup of products and services which translated into double-digit revenue growth, and operating margin expansion,” said Peter Klein, chief financial officer at Microsoft. “Our platform and cloud investments position us for long-term growth.”
Microsoft Business Division revenue for the fourth quarter grew 7% and 16% for the full year. Office 2010 continues to be the fastest-selling version of Microsoft Office in history with over 100 million licenses sold. In June, Microsoft released Office 365 with familiar Microsoft Office collaboration and productivity tools delivered through the cloud.
Server & Tools revenue grew 12% for the fourth quarter, the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, and grew 11% for the full year. Windows Server, System Center, and SQL Server continued to drive revenue growth in the segment.
Windows and Windows Live Division revenue declined 1% for the fourth quarter and revenue for the full year decreased 2%. Excluding the impact of the prior year Windows 7 launch and revenue deferral, we estimate full-year revenue growth was in line with PC market growth of 2% to 4%. Windows 7 has sold over 400 million licenses and business deployments continue to accelerate. During the quarter, Microsoft unveiled a preview of the next version of Windows, codenamed Windows 8, featuring a new user interface and application experience.
Online Services Division revenue grew 17% for the fourth quarter and 15% for the full year, primarily driven by increases in search revenue. Bing's U.S. search share increased 340 basis points year-over-year to 14.4% this quarter. Microsoft also released new features that incorporate the Facebook social graph to help users make better decisions based on their social connections.
Entertainment & Devices Division revenue grew 30% for the fourth quarter and 45% for the full year, due to the ongoing momentum of the console, Kinect, and Xbox Live. Xbox 360 has been the top-selling game console in the U.S. over the past twelve months. At E3 in June, Microsoft highlighted its upcoming game lineup, Xbox Live content partnerships, and enhanced content discovery using Bing and Kinect.
"A strong year of double-digit increases in revenue and earnings is a real credit to all of our Microsoft employees and partners around the world. We continue to see strong business demand across all of our products, from small businesses all the way up to the largest global enterprises,” said Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft. "Our move to cloud services continues with the release and momentum of Office 365 and growth in Windows Azure. We’re providing our customers seamless and powerful ways to move to the cloud, and we are well positioned for the coming year.”
Business Outlook
Microsoft reaffirms fiscal 2012 operating expense guidance of 3% to 5% growth from 2011, or $28.0 billion to $28.6 billion.
Webcast Details
Peter Klein, chief financial officer, Frank Brod, chief accounting officer, and Bill Koefoed, general manager of Investor Relations, will host a conference call and webcast at 2:30 p.m. PDT (5:30 p.m. EDT) today to discuss details of the company’s performance for the quarter and certain forward-looking information.

T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro Update Delayed, Crushed Hearts a Common Side-Effect

Sorry for getting your hopes up yesterday, you tortured Dell Venue Pro owners on T-Mobile. A tweet from Dell's Lionel Menchaca sadly confirmed a last-minute change of plans for the long, long, long awaited firmware update. The new date is now next week and heck, he even apologized in his tweet. Still we're still only a few days away until "next week" and do we need to remind you just how important this update is so you can wait patiently for just a little longer?

Rumor: Nokia W8 announcement today

Written By Penulis on Rabu, 20 Juli 2011 | 17.21

This is...odd to say the least. Apparently the rumor mill is spinning wildly and spit out a juicy bit of gossip: Nokia might just announce the W8 Windows Phone...today. Today being July 21st overseas, coincides with the release of Nokia's quarterly financial report which many are assuming won't be good news. Rumor has it Nokia is announcing the W8 (which we've heard is going to be a redone N8) today in order to soften what could be a huge hit on its stock. This is all according to more than one Nokia insider, one being Eldar Murtazin and the other Daniel Galbinisteanu who explicitly says, "Nokia W8 to be officially announced tomorrow!" According to some of his other tweets, the specs will include the expected 1GHz processor and Carl Zeiss optics. However, he also noted that the W8 will not be Nokia's high-end Windows Phone. So what will? Presumably the Sea Ray, which is based on the N9 design.

This is still highly suspect for a few reasons: Nokia insiders have been wrong before, announcing a new product the same day as a quarterly financial report is unorthodox, and we've seen the Sea Ray in public way more often than the W8 which is still unconfirmed. Stay tuned because the next few hours could explode if this holds true.

Update-pocalypse: Dell Venue Pro, HTC Mozart, LG Optimus 7 and Samsung Omnia 7 all receive updates

Yeah, you read that right: we have officially dubbed today as Update-pocalypse. Why? Well it's because not only have we heard about the Dell Venue Pro update as well as the LG Optimus 7 update within the last hour, there's also even more on their way to users. WinRumors reports that updates for those two devices as well as the HTC Mozart and Samsung Omnia 7 are also on the loose. That means five Windows Phones are being updated today, and therefore Update-pocalypse is applicable. For those of you with the mentioned devices, keep your eyes open

If you get an update for a device that we haven't mentioned, send us a tip!

Developers: Microsoft announces Windows Live & SkyDrive integration for mobile apps

Besides the day the Mango Beta released, today has been like a second Christmas for Windows Phone developers! The official Windows Live Blog has just announced Windows Live integration for mobile apps on iOS, Android and (of course) Windows Phone! This also includes access to SkyDrive content, a feature that we know has been highly requested among developers. Microsoft has also made the entire process dramatically simpler thanks to their easy-to-use http://manage.dev.live.com/ website--all you do is enter your app name and language, and you're given a client ID and client secret in return. Besides that things get a lot more technical and we know we wouldn't be able to do it justice, but we highly recommend you read the entire article at the source link.

LG Optimus 7 receiving software update today?

Today is a busy one for firmware updates! We just talked about the long-awaited update for the Dell Venue Pro moments ago, and now we've heard from Tom Warren of WinRumors. He says the LG E900 (aka the Optimus 7) has a new software update rolling out to users today and it includes better touch sensitivity. We've snooped around the web and other users have also received the update, so this appears to be legitimate. If you have an Optimus 7, you better be on the look out for a shiny new firmware version!

Dell Venue Pro update for T-Mobile rolling out now with remained of unlocked device updates

Awesome news for Dell Venue Pro owners in the crowd: your promised update is finally on its way! We just spotted the above tweet from Dell's Lionel Menchaca, in which he confirmed that T-Mobile users will begin to receive update notifications today. For those with unlocked devices that have yet to see an update notice, its also said that your update should be on its way today as well. This firmware update is huge for existing Venue Pro users, the most significant fix being those frustrating Wi-Fi lock up issues. Other fixes include improved signal strength, camera additions, and performance tweaks.

So if you were sitting on the fence when the Dell Venue Pro went on sale, you can still pick one up on the cheap starting at $0.99 with a new T-Mobile contract and $299 for an unlocked device.

Developers: Mango App Submissions start on August 22nd, App Hub changes detailed now (Update)

Yesterday an App Hub update began to roll out globally and we spotted quite a few new features. However, everyone was confused as to why Microsoft hadn't bothered detailing what's new but now Todd Brix has come to give us all the details. Here's the quick lowdown (for the rest of the details hit the source link below):
  • Geographic Expansion: 19 new consumer markets, 7 new developer markets (with China on the way and India to be expanded), App Hub localization, Updated price tiers, in-app Microsoft Advertising market expansion.
  • New Private Distribution Methods: Beta Distribution (must be pre-certified, limited to 100 users) and Targeted Distribution (published app that is invisible in the public Marketplace, unlimited number of users, shared through deep-links).
  • Enhanced application management: Better application management, Enhanced developer dashboard, More detailed reporting, New ‘Crash Count’ report, Streamlined application submission process, New App Categories.
Finally, Brix also dropped a bombshell on us that we weren't expecting to hear: Mango app submissions to the Marketplace will begin in August! Microsoft will also be unleashing Windows Phone Release Candidate (RC) tools later which will be required for those wanting to submit their apps. We know all of you developers been working tirelessly to bring your tropical-flavored apps up to snuff, and now it's time to kick things into high gear for the rest of the month. This also implies that we could very well see new Mango hardware sometime in August, which is exactly what we've heard about the Fujitsu IS12T. It's all coming together folks.

Update: Joe Belfiore himself just mentioned through his Twitter account that Mango app submissions begin specifically on August 22nd! There's the date people, now get to it!

Update for Samsung Focus v1.4 Now Available!

Written By Penulis on Selasa, 19 Juli 2011 | 18.36


Wow, they weren't kidding about that 'expediting' process. Eric Hautala just took to the Windows Phone Blog less than 24 hours after his last post to announce that Samsung Focus owners can expect their promised updates....now. Or now. Or anytime starting from now actually. When AT&T signals your device, you should receive a pop-up notification telling you its ready to update. If you want to try an easier way, just connect your phone to your PC and the Zune desktop software should find the update if it's ready when it first boots up. So what are you waiting for? A whole new world of copying, pasting, and security updates awaits you!
