Απάντηση: Windows Phone 8 Apollo

Η πρώτη εμφάνιση του ATIV S της Samsung.

Inside the crazy-thin 8.7mm brushed aluminum chassis is a huge 4.8” HD Super AMOLED display made from Corning Gorilla Glass 2 (read: tough to break, but still light)and a rundown of killer specs: 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of onboard RAM, and an 8MP autofocus rear camera and 1.9MP front-facing camera. You’ll have the choice of two storage capacities – 16GB or 32GB – and both models have a MicroSD slot for expanded storage. Backing all of this up is a massive 2300mAh battery to keep you rocking all day.

Αυτή τη στιγμή είναι μακράν το καλύτερο λειτουργικό για smartphones.

Κάνει ότι κάνει ένα android (και δεν κάνει ένα apple), κάνει 20 πράγματα παραπάνω, με smoothness και αξιοπιστία που απλά δεν υπάρχει (μηδενικά lags και απροβλημάτιστη λειτουργία). Όλοι οι σοβαροί χρήστες πρέπει να αφιερώσουν λίγο χρόνο σε αυτό το λειτουργικό. Το είδα τις προάλλες σε πουσαρισμένο Lumia... κι έχω πάθει πλάκα. Βέβαια και τα windows phone 7.5 κουβαλάνε πολλά features που δεν γνωρίζει ο κόσμος. Για παράδειγμα αν ήξερε ένας απλός χρήστης πως λειτουργεί το people's hub, τι μπορείς να κάνεις με αυτό το καταπληκτικό εργαλείο και πόσο ευκολότερες θα ήταν όλες οι εργασίες που ασχολούνται με επαφές, θα είχε πετάξει το iphone στα σκουπίδια και θα είχε δώσει το android στο γιό του να παίζει angry birds.

"It's the only phone that has live tiles, for the people you care about and the apps that you use all the time. It's a different story than iOS and Android. The iOS 6 homescreen is really just a sea of static icons. It's not people; it's not live data. Of course, after five years, they have added one more row of icons! Android homescreens typically present a complex maze of icons, widgets, and settings. But, they look a lot like iPhones, too. If you put a bunch of them together on a table, it'd be hard to tell your own from the crowd. We felt there was a better way. Windows Phone 8 -- it looks different, and that's because we didn't make WP8 for all of us, we made it for each of us."

Μερικές ακόμη λεπτομέρειες από τον ΙΕ10 που θα έχουν Windows Phone 8

και οι διαφορές με τον ΙΕ10 των Windows 8

There are some minor differences between Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Phone that you need to be aware of. Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Phone does not support the following:

• Inline video
• Some of the new manipulation views APIs for touch panning and zooming, with the exception of –ms-touch-action
• Multi-track HTML5 audio (simultaneous)
• ActiveX and VBScript
• Drag-and-drop APIs
• File access APIs with the exception of blobs which are supported on Windows Phone 8
• Windows 8 integration features: Link previews, pinned site icons & notifications and support for connecting sites to apps
• Also in Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Phone, Window.open does not return a valid window object. This is because on the phone each “window” is isolated in its own sandbox.

Όσοι έχουν Windows Phone 8 ή 7.8 πρέπει να είναι ιδιαίτερα προσεκτικοί με τα Wi-Fi access points.

Executive Summary
Microsoft is aware of a public report that describes a known weakness in the Wi-Fi authentication protocol known as PEAP-MS-CHAPv2 (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol with Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2), used by Windows Phones for WPA2 wireless authentication. In vulnerable scenarios, an attacker who successfully exploited this issue could achieve information disclosure against the targeted device. Microsoft is not currently aware of active attacks or of customer impact at this time. Microsoft is actively monitoring this situation to keep customers informed and to provide customer guidance as necessary.

To exploit this issue, an attacker controlled system could pose as a known Wi-Fi access point, causing the targeted device to automatically attempt to authenticate with the access point, and in turn allowing the attacker to intercept the victim's encrypted domain credentials. An attacker could then exploit cryptographic weaknesses in the PEAP-MS-CHAPv2 protocol to obtain the victim's domain credentials. Those credentials could then be re-used to authenticate the attacker to network resources, and the attacker could take any action that the user could take on that network resource.

Recommendation. Apply the suggested action to require a certificate verifying a wireless access point before starting an authentication process. Please see the Suggested Actions section of this advisory for more information.

Για δεύτερη φορά μέσα σε λίγους μήνες η Google μπλόκαρε την εφαρμογή της Microsoft για το Youtube σε όλα τα κινητά με Windows Phone.
Είναι ξεκάθαρο πλέον ότι η Google παίζει υπογείως για τον πλήρη έλεγχο του διαδικτύου.

Posted by David Howard
Corporate Vice President & Deputy General Counsel, Litigation & Antitrust, Microsoft

You may be wondering what happened to the YouTube app for Windows Phone. Last May, after we launched a much improved app on our platform, Google objected on a number of grounds. We took our app down and agreed to work with Google to solve their issues. This week, after we addressed each of Google’s points, we re-launched the app, only to have Google technically block it.

We know that this has been frustrating, to say the least, for our customers. We have always had one goal: to provide our users a YouTube experience on Windows Phone that’s on par with the YouTube experience available to Android and iPhone users. Google’s objections to our app are not only inconsistent with Google’s own commitment of openness, but also involve requirements for a Windows Phone app that it doesn’t impose on its own platform or Apple’s (both of which use Google as the default search engine, of course).

When we first built a YouTube app for Windows Phone, we did so with the understanding that Google claimed to grow its business based on open access to its platforms and content, a point it reiterated last year. As antitrust enforcers have launched investigations against Google – some of which are still ongoing – the company has reiterated its commitment to openness and its ability to stick to its openness commitments voluntarily.

With this backdrop, we temporarily took down our full-featured app when Google objected to it last May, and have worked hard to accommodate Google’s requests. We enabled Google’s advertisements, disabled video downloads and eliminated the ability for users to view reserved videos. We did this all at no cost to Google, which one would think would want a YouTube app on Windows Phone that would only serve to bring Google new users and additional revenue.

There was one sticking point in the collaboration. Google asked us to transition our app to a new coding language – HTML5. This was an odd request since neither YouTube’s iPhone app nor its Android app are built on HTML5. Nevertheless, we dedicated significant engineering resources to examine the possibility. At the end of the day, experts from both companies recognized that building a YouTube app based on HTML5 would be technically difficult and time consuming, which is why we assume YouTube has not yet made the conversion for its iPhone and Android apps.

For this reason, we made a decision this week to publish our non-HTML5 app while committing to work with Google long-term on an app based on HTML5. We believe this approach delivers our customers a short term experience on par with the other platforms while putting us in the same position as Android and iOS in enabling an eventual transition to new technology. Google, however, has decided to block our mutual customers from accessing our new app.

It seems to us that Google’s reasons for blocking our app are manufactured so that we can’t give our users the same experience Android and iPhone users are getting. The roadblocks Google has set up are impossible to overcome, and they know it.

Google claims that one problem with our new app is that it doesn’t always serve ads based on conditions imposed by content creators. Our app serves Google’s advertisements using all the metadata available to us. We’ve asked Google to provide whatever information iPhone and Android get so that we can mirror the way ads are served on these platforms more precisely. So far at least, Google has refused to give this information to us. We are quite confident that we can solve this issue if Google cooperates, but fixing Google’s concern here is entirely within Google’s control. If Google stops blocking our app, we are happy to work with them on this, entirely at Microsoft’s expense.

Google also says that we are not complying with its “terms and conditions.” What Google really means is that our app is not based on HTML5. The problem with this argument, of course, is that Google is not complying with this condition for Android and iPhone. Again, we’re happy to collaborate with Google on an HTML5 app, but we shouldn’t be required to do something that apparently neither iPhone nor Android has successfully figured out how to do.

Google raises concerns about our branding too. The funny thing about this point is that we’ve been using the same branding continuously since 2010 for an inferior YouTube app. Now that we have an app that gives users a fuller YouTube experience, Google objects to the branding (even though we’ve taken additional steps to clarify that we are the author of the app). Go figure.

Finally, Google cites a degraded experience. Since 2010, Google permitted a Windows Phone app that was far below the iPhone and Android app experiences. Reviews of our new app are unanimous that the experience is much improved, and we’re committed to making adjustments to improve it further. If Google were truly concerned about a degraded experience, it would allow our users access to the new YouTube app they love.

We think it’s clear that Google just doesn’t want Windows Phone users to have the same experience as Android and Apple users, and that their objections are nothing other than excuses. Nonetheless, we are committed to giving our users the experience they deserve, and are happy to work with Google to solve any legitimate concerns they may have. In the meantime, we once again request that Google stop blocking our YouTube app.

Να χαιρόμαστε το "ανοικτό" λογισμικό....

Να υπενθυμίσω και πάλι ότι η Microsoft είναι η μοναδική εταιρία που έχει τιμωρηθεί για αντιμονοπωλιακές τακτικές λόγω της ενσωμάτωσης των media player και IE στο λειτουργικό..... λες και τα υπόλοιπα λειτουργικά δεν έχουν ενσωματωμένες αντίστοιχες εφαρμογές.....
