大概10月份左右 telstra对win7手机平台非常满意。 在win7手机的主页面的tiles上，将有一个tile是专门为telstra设计，叫telstraOne Hub, 该tile可以显示实时新闻而不用用户手动点击下载，但是telstra目前还在working on这个tile上，一切取决于bigPond的内容提供 这个实时显示新闻，气象预报的tile流量不计费。 目前win7手机的应用程序发展势头良好。大量的native app正在开发中，微软将倡导质量优先于数量的策略 手机将使用silver light的安全措施，避免泄漏联系人电话单这类事情。 微软已经放弃目前有多少应用在开发中的努力，现在已经有30万个Win7开发工具被下载。 软件将只有一个版本，full version必须是从free trial或者lite version中unlock出来 软件的censorship将介乎于苹果和google之间，成人内容不能公布  http://www.smh.com.au/technology ... 20100826-13syh.html Microsoft Phone 7 puts software giant 'back in the game' Telstra has unveiled a free content platform designed especially for the upcoming Microsoft Windows Phone 7. The application, called TelstraOne Hub, will integrate with the phone to give users live breaking news, sports and weather without the need to search, open or refresh a webpage. It will be available as part of the carrier's unmetered content, meaning customers on the Telstra network will continue to not pay to access its related services. One Hub will be triggered from a “tile” on new Windows Phone 7 home screens which then opens up a large menu of choices. However, Telstra says it is working to see if it can serve breaking news and other content directly to the home screen without users needing to tap the hub's icon. It will rely on BigPond for content. It is the first of many apps expected to finally bring Windows-powered phones up to the user experience level now demanded by consumers. The first WP7 handsets are touted to hit Australian stores around October. Telstra general manager of device user interface David Powell said the carrier was pleased with the performance of WP7 and excited about what it will offer consumers. “It's really compelling. You'll be literally playing with the phone and things will be happening,” Powell said. Microsoft has been criticised for taking too long to rise to the challenge thrown by the Apple iPhone and now Android smartphones, in the process foregoing the lucrative consumer market and losing popularity among enterprise customers. The company hopes the new operating system will finally put it on par with its competitors. Powell demonstrated the app at the Tech.Ed 2010, Microsoft's annual industry education event on Queensland's Gold Coast where 2700 IT professionals and software developers are gathered this week. Richard Fink, director, Telstra mobility products, said new handsets based on WP7 would provide choice to users. “I think it will compete very well, it's strong. We want everyone to be strong: Microsoft, Apple, RIM and Android. We think Microsoft is back in the game,” Fink said. Fairfax, publisher of this website, also showcased its first WP7 app for the real estate site Domain. It has been redesigned as a native application for the phone, rather than a cut-down version of the website. Like the Domain iPhone app, it was reconfigured to take advantage of the operating system's touch, pinch and two-way swipe capabilities. Microsoft developer evangelist, David Glover, declined to reveal how many apps would be available at time of launch, but said the company was striving for quality not quantity. “I was trying to track what people were doing in apps for WP7 but I gave up maintaining a list a month ago, there's so much out there. We've had 300,000 developer tool downloads worldwide – it's huge. It's fantastic to see the momentum,” Glover said. He said app developers would have to design their apps so that full-versions could be “unlocked” from the free-trial or lite versions, rather than allow two separate apps to co-exist in the Windows Marketplace. This will also mean consumers who download a lite-version app, will not have to do it again if upgrading. The company also wants to keep an eye on the standard and security of the apps revealing that at this stage, adult content apps will not be allowed. It will sit somewhere between Apple and Google in the app censorship spectrum. Apple vets every application available through its AppStore, whereas Google allows the market to dictate standards. “Our approval process is somewhere in the middle. The focus is on quality and because we're doing it through Silverlight it has a security boundary so the apps won't be able to do anything bad to your phone like read your contacts. We're aiming at a transparent (approval) process,” Peter Torr, WP7 program manager based in Redmond, US, said. Lia Timson is attending Tech.Ed as a guest of Microsoft. |
