Samsung has already announced its Windows 8 phone, ATIV
S, but when Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) will release the new mobile OS
is anybody’s guess. If one were to
believe the rumors, the event is scheduled a few days after the release of
Windows 8 and Windows RT.The buzz is
that October 29 is the launch date, just three days after the slated release of
Windows 8 on October 26.Either San
Francisco or Los Angeles is likely to host the launch party.
A launch on October 29 however doesn’t mean that the
phones will be on market shelves on the same day. That will probably take a couple of weeks giving
credence to another rumor that Windows Phone 8 will be in the market in
November.
Windows Phone 8 is supposed to be far superior to
Windows Phone 7.5. The new OS version
supports higher resolution screens. This includes the 720p display in the ATIV
S.With some more features like support
for dual processors and micro SD cards packed in, users have in their hands
faster phones with better screens and higher storage.
The new OS facilitates greater customization too.Phone users can arrange their Start screen in
different ways because of the
variables sizes of live tiles. The new
OS has an option for titles which also allows users to have more tiles on the
screen. Of course, the medium and large tiles
can still be used.
Next week, we get to see Nokia’s Windows Phone 8
devices.
