Microsoft has unveiled an app while in the Google Perform shop meant to get
folks to stop making use of mentioned store as well as the Android telephones
that link to it. Basically referred to as "Switch to Home windows Phone," it
scans your Android cell phone for your whole mounted applications then saves the
effects with all your Microsoft ID. Then, employing a companion application on
Home windows Phone alone, you may signal in and see all of the equivalent
applications in Microsoft's own store, tapping via to put in them every
one-by-one. It won't exhibit current Android end users what all those matched
apps are, nevertheless it may very well be handy to latest switchers.
It truly is a clever notion, having people above the concerns that apps
will not be offered on Home windows Phone, however the execution just isn't
pretty there yet. Scanning was relatively fast and pain-free on Android ?a the
applications suggests it matched 87 % of my put in Android apps. Nevertheless,
the moment I logged into your companion application on Windows Telephone (and
experienced it crash a few situations), I discovered that many of the "matched"
apps weren't pretty exact. Alternatively of Mint, one example is, Switch to Home
windows Mobile phone introduced me using a website link to Pageonce. When
Pageonce performs mostly the same functions as Mint, for a lot of consumers
"close to the very same app" will not be shut enough. It will happen to be nicer
if some of those people non-exact matches would present many options, but the
Quixey-powered application did not do this. End users preferring a far more
conventional strategy can try Mark/Space's desktop switcher app.
Inspite of Microsoft's greatest attempts, it still does not have each
individual large name application that buyers on other platforms will take for
granted ?a a lot to Nokia's chagrin ?a although the problem continues to be
having constantly much better for your platform. Even though it won't reduce
many of the hassles related to utilizing the third-place smartphone OS,
Microsoft's application ought to assist get new Home windows Cell phone
consumers commenced right after they change.
Microsoft introduced its new Skype Video Messages function for iOS,
Android, and Mac again in February, nevertheless the firm didn't make it
accessible initially for its own Home windows platform. Currently, Microsoft is
releasing a preview of Skype Video clip Messaging for Home windows desktop
people. The traditional desktop app that operates on Windows seven and Home
windows eight will consist of the new aspect, permitting end users to trade
brief video messages (as many as a few minutes very long) with other Skype
members.
The aspect is still not offered on Microsoft's Windows 8 Skype app,
although the company is promising to generate this available "shortly." Skype
suggests it really is continue to tests the characteristic, and at the instant
you receive 20 no cost messages right before you may have to subscribe to Skype
Premium for $4.99 a month to continue applying Online video Messages.
