Windows 10 Mobile Release Date Announced
That huge bet might not pay off – Apple and Google are still formidable competitors, and the road back to mobile relevance will be a long one – but it’s more vision and objective than we’ve seen from Redmond in years. However, the company also announced that not all Lumia devices will be compatible with the new Windows 10 OS since the upgrade will take up 8 GB of internal storage memory.
I like Nadella, and I like what Microsoft is doing right now.
Windows 10 Mobile is Microsoft’s latest play to make a significant mark in the smartphone market, where it now holds less than a 3 percent share, with IDC predicting that figure to remain unchanged for the next 12 months.
The screen of the Surface Book features six million pixels as well as the PixelSense touch and Gorilla Glass technology found on its Surface Pro 4 tablet.
In response to questions posted to the Lumia Facebook page, Microsoft stated that availability of Windows 10 on mobile phones will begin sometime in December.
The Surface Book is about $100 more than the MacBook Pro, but offers a few more features like the tablet mode and touchscreen.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or just avoiding the Internet), you know Microsoft has debuted a series of Windows 10 devices including a Surface Pro 4, Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL, Microsoft Band and Surface Book laptop. Microsoft will be hoping that Surface Pro 4 enjoys a lion’s share of the tablet market once it gets launched.
Thanks to an innovative new locking mechanism known as a muscle wire lock, the display is easily and robustly connected to the primary chassis, which helps to ensure a seamless transition between tablet and laptop mode. A fully loaded Surface Book will be upwards of $3,000 United States dollars.
Microsoft claims it twice as fast as the Apple Macbook Pro.
Based on what Microsoft said, there seems to be no compromises in the device’s full-sized, backlit keyboard, even though it’s removable from the screen. Battery life depends on lots of factors and it’s too early to know if Microsoft can deliver on its promise.
“Continuum” is a new feature introduced by Microsoft for its newest Windows 10 handsets — Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.
