Archos sees an opportunity in Windows Phone amid swamped Android market

Image
French mobile manufacturer Archos plans to throw its beret in to the Windows Phone arena. CEO Loic Poirier said the company will launch a handset on Microsoft s gradually improving platform, joining its budget offerings on Android . Nokia is currently earning a whopping 90 per cent of Windows Phone sales, with big hitters like LG, Samsung and HTC focusing all of their attentions on the Android operating system. That means a potential opportunity for manufacturers a little lower on the totem pole, like Archos, outside of the densely populated Android market. New breed rising "We will launch a Windows Phone handset when the time is right," he told TrustedReviews before explaining its primary focus would remain with Android. "Before anything else we are focussed on Google," he added. Other manufacturers like Alcatel and ZTE are also planning to jump in on Windows Phone.

Why Nokia Choose Windows Phone OS Instead of Android

Image
Nokias chief executive Stephen Elop have given a reason why Nokia didnt choose Android to replace Symbian  in 2010 when it decided to ditch  Symbian OS from its phones and replace it with the struggling Microsoft OS for mobile, Windows Phone OS. According to Elop, the choice he made was right and he and his team  are happy to have made the choice back in 2010 and still stands by it even now. He stated that Nokia decided not to go with Android because it seemed like and OS that would be totally dominated by one manufacturer which is what is happening now. He stated and implied that Samsung is totally controlling Android giving other phone manufacturers little or no chance at success as evident with what HTC is facing in the android space. In Stephen Elops words "Im very happy with the decision we made," he said. "What we were worried about a couple of years ago was the very high risk that one hardware manufacturer could come to dominate Android. We had a suspicion of who ...

BBM On Windows Phone

Image
Finally, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is now available for Android and iOS devices as promised by BlackBerry and it works so well and flawless on these devices. According to BlackBerry, 5 million people downloaded BBM within a space of 8hrs. The question is, what percentage of these people would be dumping their BlackBerry devices for Android or iPhone? Where does this leave BlackBerry? I believe it will in a way put BlackBerry in a not-so-good condition. BBM is a highly anticipated and revered messaging app and its not surprising to see the massive download rate by Android and iOS device users. If people, are dumping BlackBerry devices which already has BBM for Android and iPhone, how much more will Windows Phone device purchase take a hit? The effect would be felt  by Windows Phone manufacturers due to the fact that theres no BBM available for WP devices (e.g Nokia Lumia phones, HTC and Samsung phones with Windows OS) and people buy smartphones for the apps it supports. Ultimately,...

HTC Windows Phone 8S

HTC WINDOWS PHONE 8S REVIEW HTCs second Windows Phone 8 device follows the same design as its bigger brother, the 8S, with a unique look and feel thats separate to the companys Android devices. Its another big bet on Windows Phone 8 for HTC and one that the company hopes will appeal to the masses as Microsoft continues its push to get Windows Phone devices into consumers hands. A run-of-the-mill 4.0” 480x800 display is what HTC graced the 8S with, and the 233ppi pixel density, while nothing exemplary, is still decent for your everyday tasks. The display sports good color presentation, and is sufficiently bright for comfortable outside viewing, with nice viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. As it stands, HTCs 8S includes a 5-megapixel rear camera that isnt particularly notable. I found the results were fairly noisy. Low light performance is reasonable, but some images have an odd haze on them thats more akin to an Instagram filter than anything else. The 8S shoots at 4 mega...

Windows Phone 8 1 Revealed

Image
The mobile industry is no childs play at all when it comes to evolution and competition: Microsoft wont be sitting on her balls this year, we believe, seeing how much of recognition it gained last year. To not stay awash, mobile phone makers need to innovate and present something new - this Microsoft has done as shown in the latest leaks that we saw of Windows Phone 8.1 Action Center.  The notification center known as the Action Center has been given a face lift with a good number of new features. First, swiping down from top of the screen reveals the Action Center with four basic tasks: WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode and Driving; these notifications can be customised to taste. The action center also shows date, time, battery level percentage and network bars.  On further swiping down of the Action Center, a full Action Center will be revealed, giving you a detailed information of all the notifications of apps, messages and other items. Like other notification centers we have ...
