Windows Phone Upgrade Will Improve The Multitasking

So far, little is known about the next update of the Microsoft operating system for smart phones. The Windows Phone known as Tango-version that continues to the current edition of Windows Phone Mango-flag had to extend the range of compatibility with hardware ranging from what we would understand by a lower-middle range even more advanced devices. Thus, as became known, would be sufficient for the terminal contase with 256 MB of RAM for funcionasen processes with complete ease, no slowdowns and a remarkable fluency.

Today, when we already know that Windows Phone Tango is called Windows Phone Refresh, we can expand with more data which will lead the next update. Through the XDA Developers Forum have known some details that the Microsoft platform will flag for future terminals that are released in this line. Thus, not only will require a few technical requirements to ensure optimum system performance, but also improve performance enough about what we already know.

For example, we found that multitasking management expand its possibilities. Currently, running Windows Mobile 7.5 Phone Mango background can maintain up to five concurrent applications to continue running. However, thanks to Windows Phone Refresh, the maximum number of processes that can run background applications will be expanded to eight, through which we can navigate while continuing to work without being in the frontal plane of the system.

The idea of this development, as we say, is to focus on system performance in the face of phones equipped with lightweight performance. Clearly, in the center of the target are the plans of the Finnish Nokia to develop economic end terminals with which to seduce the market through the pocket, but without forgetting the need to provide devices to summon solvent functions and possibilities to height of the terminals on the market more pointers.

The Nokia Lumia 610, in fact, is one of the motives that correspond to the category that Finland could open in this regard. This terminal and responds to these features, offering a simple mobile technically, though demonstrating a very attractive design that is sure to seduce an important part of the market, especially considering that will be priced below 200 euros format free when it goes on sale.

It is recalled that from the direction of Nokia have been heaped praise to Windows Phone when it comes to assessing the efficient management of resources as an argument presented by the Microsoft platform. So much so that the CEO of the firm, Stephen Elop, stepped out of the criticism that came to be made in Nokia’s refusal to consider the presence of dual and quad core in their new devices, ensuring that no Windows Phone requires such units to operate with complete fluency, adding that this is only worth to sacrifice autonomy in their devices.

Email Synchronizing on Windows 8 with Google

Microsoft recently launched the public beta of its Windows 8 operating system . A system that at first glance leaves the feeling of being directed in a very clear to the world of tablets, but it hides many secrets that can make a good choice for desktops and laptops without a touchscreen. We will gradually disengaging the tricks and the most interesting characteristics of this system is still in a preliminary stage. This time, we focus on the new App-mail (Mail) shown on the main interface of the system, and how to synchronize with Gmail mail account or Exchange.

To access the application just click on the brick “Mail” once we started the session. One of the premises almost unavoidable if we want to use Windows 8 at its best is to have a Windows Live (enough to have an email account on Hotmail), allowing us to access services such as online file sharing through Skydrive or install new applications store for Windows 8. As with Google or Apple, we are moving ever closer to integration of all services of the same company. Once inside the application, we found a very simple interface in which we design in the form of two columns on the left the names of the right post and the content thereof.

To create new post just press the + shaped icon appears at the top right. Again we see two columns. On the left write the email addresses you want to send the e-mail and write the title right at the top and body of the message below. To send mail you push on the button with a letter and if we go back to the X. When we have selected a reply or forward mail by clicking on the button next to the + or delete the icon shaped trash that is on the right.

You can also select multiple emails at once using the control key and then apply the action to delete them all by clicking the trash can. If we organize the folders we give the right mouse button on the screen and the bottom appears to us the “folders”. Pressing on it appears a third column on the left with the available folders. We can move emails between folders via the option in the bottom right.

Now, to add a new account and manage the different accounts that we must click on the feature “accounts” of the bottom bar. Then go to “add another account” and enter the data of our own Google or Exchange. When we do this, mail account will be automatically synchronized with the application. Furthermore, it should be noted that the calendar data appear in the Calendar app automatically, but we found that the timing leaves much to be desired, at least for now. Done this way, we can change whenever you want the mail account with the press on his name in the left column. App is a simple but very useful, both for its ease of use and access as the ability to receive notifications directly on the interface Metro.
