Microsoft resumes the February WP7 update for Samsung phones

 

It looks like Microsoft has ironed out the issues that plagued the first update for their WP7 mobile platform. The issues that lead to bricking of some Samsung Omnia 7 units are now taken care of and the update has been made available once again.


Microsoft has been pushing the update since yesterday and we are getting no user reports of bricked devices so far.


The company didn't say what the "technical issue" with the Samsung WP7 smartphones was, but it's a good thing they fixed it so quickly.

The update is being sent-out on a rolling schedule and your WP7 device will notify you when it has arrived. Have in mind, though that the update itself is not available over the air and you will need to plug your handset into your computer and use Zune to get it.

Microsoft are also still sending the update to Windows Phone 7 devices from other manufacturers, so even if you haven't received yours there's no reason to worry just yet.


Now that they have this one cleared we are hoping they will get back to work on the major update. We'd love to try some copy/paste and voice-guided navigation on WP7.

iPad 3 out before Microsoft has Windows ready for tablets


We discussed late last year that Microsoft was looking at Windows 8 for the possible future of its tablet devices, but Microsoft’s OS team is in no hurry to rush anything out as several internal sources at Microsoft (who want to remain anonymous) said that the company won’t be release a true tablet operating system until 2012’s back-to-school season.


This has left some analysts a little flummoxed, with analyst Michael Gatenberg noting that if 2011 is the year of the tablet wars then Microsoft will be awfully late suiting up for the battle. By this time Microsoft would be up against not just the 2nd generation iPad but most likely iPad 3, and we still have HP and RIM models to come out this year too.


Public testing of a new version of Windows is expected near the end of this year. It will most likely be an updated version of Windows 7 OS with more features that are tailored-made to the tablet platform, including making sure the screen size is right and that the battery life will be acceptable. Once this is done Microsoft will be hoping they have a platform that is able to compete better with Apple and Google.

Microsoft releases first Windows Phone 7 update, here is how to get it

E-mailWritten by Administrator Wednesday, 23 February 2011 09:29

wp7 2nd updateIf you are using a windows mobile phone then someone from you might have noticed that pop-ups are appearing on the screen notifying you about the software update which has been made available by Microsoft. Now it’s not a matter of getting blown up, due to the reason that what you’re thinking it that this update is for allowing “copy/paste” on your windows phone, then it’s not that such early but it’s soon to come. Oh come on ! This is the very first update released by Microsoft for WP7 then it’s appreciable, after all.

Coming back to this update then bear this in your mind that this update isn’t the very best shot by Microsoft, instead it’s somewhat preliminary at the moment and a tiny one, in the first place. But soon Microsoft will cast updates for further enhancement of the operating system. This update may be the foundation stone letting us know that Microsoft has some other major updates to release in the near time.

What’s with the update ?

This first update for WP is designed to perk up the software update procedure itself and so this is considered important because it will change over the update process which you will be making use of in the near time whenever an update regarding anything would be released whether it could be your anticipated “copy/paste” update and perhaps an improved market place.

Who will get this update and when ?

Please note that this update won’t be available for all WP users at once, it might be possible for your friends or anyone else to grab this update first then you but don’t get down in the dumps, the notification will also pop-up on your screen, but no certainty for a specific time can be given. It’s however precise that you may be impatient to have the latest software on your mobile phone, but if you haven’t received yet the notification for update then you’ll just have to wait !

Procedure to update your WP

If you are lucky to get the notification on your phone telling you that an update is available for your phone then you will need to follow these steps:

The latest version of Zune on your PC or the Windows Phone Connector on your Mac (it depends on your computer) is required so that you may install it first.After installing any one of the above softwares on your computer system you’ll need to connect your mobile phone by means of the USB cable to the system and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: Please take this in account that if you have the older version of Zune software or the Windows Phone 7 Connector installed then it’s necessary for you to first update that software and after doing that, go forward to update your mobile phone.

However if you don’t update your software installed in your system in the first place, moreover you start to update your mobile phone then you will be notified, so don’t need to worry if that happens and just go after the on-screen instructions, restart the software, and then connect your phone, and you are ready to go !

Back to Mobile Print Video: Nokia and Microsoft announce partnership Feb. 11, 2011 (8:30 am) By: Matthew Humphries




Earlier today Microsoft and Nokia announced a new mobile partnership that would see Windows become the OS of choice on Nokia handsets going forward. We’ll also see Bing and adCenter dominate on Nokia phones while Symbian and MeeGo become effectively side projects.


Both companies have just attended a Strategy and Financial Briefing in London where the deal was sealed with both Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer taking to the stage and discussing the new direction.


Is this the start of a fruitful new relationship that sees both companies return to the top of the mobile market? Or is this just another marker in the ongoing domination of iPhone and Android platforms?
