On Monday, the company announced its Surface tablet platform at a hush hush event in Los Angeles, and now Microsoft has unveiled Windows Phone 8 Apollo at its Windows Phone Summit in San Francisco.
When they launch, Windows Phone 8 devices will run on dual core processors, specifically those from Qualcomm.
As described by WMPowerUser, the SGH i687s Bluetooth profile finally confirms the presence of Object Push, [which is] mostly used for Bluetooth File Transfer.
And finally, Windows Phone 8 will run the Microsoft Office suite though we have yet to see how it will look in that mobile form.
Its not something that consumers will immediately notice when they use the OS, but Microsoft hopes native code support will lead to better, easier app development and thus more quality apps in Windows Phone Marketplace.
Suddenly, with Windows Phone 8 with that shared core, taking an app from the Computer to phone is very straightforward, Belfiore said.
As we wrote in our story about the Start Screen and current Windows Phone devices, the new Start Screen is the most visible end user feature of Windows Phone 8 (at least thats been announced so far).
Bluetooth file transfer isnt a groundbreaking feature in locations with strong mobile data connections.
FTP is built on a client server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
This is doubly the case in locales where data is expensive sending files from device to device, not over the carrier network would be essentially free.
A file system organizes data in an efficient manner and is tuned to the specific characteristics of the device.
Windows Phone 8 will come with a complete security platform with Secure Boot and encryption (which is a derivative of Windows Bitlocker).
