HTC arrive sprint first window s7 phone on CDMA network
this phone well be coming out march 20th for about 200$ (with contract). but of course if you decide to pay extra you can of course get it flashed over to cricket or metro PCS now that windows 7 phone is on CDMA.
their is tell of a verison phone as well but almost no info has bin said on it as its it also a HTC phone and some way its the same with a different name.
the phone is interesting because it has a tilt on the screen after you slide it out, which can make for some some what better laptop like typing. the phone has bin reviewed with lots of praise to the sound quality which is sort of a HTC standard. and because its HTC it well offer a HTC app store, and if you don't have your phone flashed u can still use the sprint app store on top of the windows 7 store, which also offers besides apps and games, but xbox life games with xbox approved quality, and the zune music store. this means that it well have HD videos, movies, tv shows, and zune music, but also means you can use zune pass on the go with your mobile phone and stream all the music you want for as long as your zune pass is good for.
a lot of the apps that use music have a cool tagging option to tag songs you like and adds them to your zune music cart.
the 7 phone also offers a free mobile office, cut & paste. a browser with tabs and flash mobile is coming (adobe and MS have said)

and multitasking has bin said to come later this year.
the phone also offers a smart calander integrated with oulook
has support for sky drive (25GB of free cloud data)
and a smart phone book that syncs your social media sites like facebook
so that a phone contact can have all not just call and text
all windows 7 phones have HD video recording (720p) and 5 mega pixel photo.
watch the key note hear about 30% they talk about new things.
like comparing to iphone, HTML5 IE9 (with software acceleration) and much more including showing of a glimps of kinect support
(which could allow for face time via kinect)
this well be the phone that i end up getting my self so i can tell you its more then a smart buy

windows 8 as of march 18th 2011
not a lot is known about the new W8 BUT, since a lot of word is going around of the new system and UI. their has also bin a lot of talk about what is going to be in the new version of windows.
so lets get to the rumors shall we?
1) people are saying that the UI well boot in several flavors. in other words the UI well boot to a point then ask what your going to use the system for. media/gaming/internet/office/exe or a full version. this would change performance areas in the pc and allow for better performance in that task. if your just going to play a movie then it wont take much power, as ware i gaming would rely more on the graphics card and less on your preprocessor, and the list goes on. this would make the UI amazing for not only at home or laptop, but grate for tablets
2) speaking of tablets, a lot of people say the next version well have touch power. well first let me say im running a touch PC by HP that was built on vista. and touch screens have bin used by windows since 95 so i think would people mean to say is make the UI more touch friendly. but their has bin a leak out that shows metro style icons to be used for windows 8, this is the same UI interface on zune, zune HD, and windows phone 7. which is very touch friendly UI. so to see metro being brought in i have to say that the next version well be touch friendly. Bill gates him self has said that tablets are the future (back in 07) so now that they have a few w7 tabs on the market or as i like to call them Slates, because i think tablet is more of term for the mobile os, not a full os. any ways now that the market is now their that means that this version well be much more tablet styled.
3) tablet hardware friendly. this new version is sure to add on support for motion controls, GPS, and the like to be more tablet efficient, rather then add those things just to a tablet version.
4) touch programs, windows dues have some touch programs built just for showing off on windows 7, this touch is just a few games, a photo table, and things of that. which are just modified versions of the stuff we see on surface. which is also coming out with version 2 this year.
5) new versions of the basics with touch innovation, media center, media player, movie maker, zune, photo gallery, live photo, office, paint, outlook, IE, live movie maker, live mssnger, and the rest. no doubt some of them well even have visual support as kinect has bin working its way into PC's as well.
6) kinect, lots of people have bin hacking in to the hardware and using it for new applications and programs in life out side of gaming, so MS took the hint right away with its 10,000,000 units sold in 4 months and got to work making it for use in W7, so W8 well sure to be not just touch, but kinect friendly as well.
7) grouping tool bar, their has bin some talk about the toolbar being able to group your programs together so that all of your browsers are in one spot, all of your media players are in another on your toolbar, by hovering over them a display well show all thats inside. this is a sign that they well be taking a lot of W7 and making some evo improvements and some smart design improvements.
now of course most of this is just talk, but not all of it is me so no doubt some of this well work its way in to the new UI/OS. and thus their is more reason to get excited other then better performance. but their is also the reason to get excited for new hardware to support this OS. and is supposedly coming out next year. so cheers
