Microsoft plans to launch Windows 8 Beta in February 2012 and with that they will also launch Windows 8 Windows Store. According to Microsoft this Windows Store will have benefits for both its users and developers too. And they have also explained that how their new application store can give more revenues to its developers. As Microsoft has announced that the developers will get 80 percent of the revenue share of the application sales, after it has crossed the figure sales of $25,000.

Apart from that this app store will also give ease to its users like for example for subscribing for any newsletter and things like that it wouldn’t be necessary for the users to only use live or Hotmail ids as for iOS or Android devices users can only their respective ids.

While I really agree that Windows 8 can be the next big operating system but I am still not sure how Windows 8 can be a big success. We just have to wait and see what Microsoft has planned and done with their Windows Store

Microsoft then realized that its giving away its market that much easily, having realized that Microsoft launched its windows mobile 6.5. The phone that were shipped with Windows mobile 6.5 weren’t that successful comparing to android and iPhone, but it some how gave Microsoft some idea of the recent development of mobile market.

After the failure of Windows mobile 6.5 Microsoft made a concrete development in smartphone market by developing the new mobile operating system windows mobile 7. In the start the phone didn’t did well like its predecessor but they started to get the moment regarding sales by every passing month.

Up till now its been estimated that Microsoft have successfully sold around 5 million win phone 7. Which is a big leap in smart phone market. Microsoft have sold around 600,000 windows phone this month. With the new deal of Microsoft and Nokia, its been predicted that the company will do good with their OS shipped with one of the most sleaked and stylish phones of Nokia.

So, now it is confirmed that Microsoft will no longer produce Zune player which means the current players in different stores are the last batch of the device. But this doesn’t mean that those who already own a Zune player will not get their services. Microsoft will continue to provide both physical and hardware support to those who already own Zune devices and even to those who want to buy Zune currently available in the stores.

The story of Zune player stated in 2006and now after five years Microsoft has decided to discontinue the device as they have mentioned several times that the company now wants to concentrate more on the Windows Phone devices and software.

It has been hinted by multiple sources that Microsoft and their device partners are ready to unveil their Windows Phone Mango devices.Microsoft team had hinted before that September would be the months in which Mango devices would be demoed.And also WPCentral which a popular technology blog has also hinted the same thing.

So, whenever these devices are made public , this time would be much more exciting as this time lot much devices will be launched as many other devices partners have joined hands with Microsoft.Some of the popular new names include Fujitsu,Acer and Asus and of course Nokia , but Nokia has different plans for the launched of their Windows Phone Mango device.Most probably they launch their first Mango device till the end of this year.

Its a reality that games launched on the Microsoft platform does not have 3D supported games like Sony has but thing would change in the coming time as Microsoft will give 3D feature with their one of the top game Halo.Halo:Combat Evolved Anniversary is supposed to launch soon and it would have 3D viewing feature.Its not really the first 3D game on Xbox but it would be the first one from Microsoft.

The demo of this game was recently shown in Germany at Gamescom and the 3D version of the games works fine and smooth.

According to British tech blog Pocket-line they have got this news from more than one authentic sources.On 1st September Microsoft and their device partners would officially show off their latest hand sets to the world.Things would be lot much interesting this time when Windows Phone devices are unveiled as this time more companies have designed Windows Phone devices and some of new makers include Fujitsu , Acer and Asus.

Nokia will also be a big device partner for Windows Phone but most probably they will not launch their Windows Phone devices soon , may be they will launch their Mango devices yearly next year or in later part of this year.

Initially when Windows Phone 7 was launched Microsoft had said that Ravio would launch Angry Birds on their platform in May but Ravio denied this statement. And now Angry Birds finally is available on Windows Phone Marketplace and is available for $2.99.

Angry Birds is perhaps the best and most successful game on mobile platform and perhaps no mobile game has close to it.It is interesting that it is available for $2.99 on Android as it is available on App Store for $0.99 and it’s free for Android. May be its price is more on Windows Market Place because there is no quality game launched for Windows Phone 7 till now.

Their is a big possibility that this rumor could be true because Microsoft just recently showed the UI demo of Windows 8 and they want to launch it as soon as possible to compete against other tablet OS like iOS and Android.

The user interface of Windows 8 will have Metro UI just like Windows Phone 7 , and I think they want to gave same user experience to their users in all their devices , just like how Apple does with iPhone , iPad and Mac.

According to the source:

I’ve also heard from my contact that Microsoft’s game plan is to deliver a beta build– not a pre-beta or preview.

Microsoft plans to give many new features to their users with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10 is supposed to play a big part in Windows 8.

Previous Nokia executives were just hinting that there is a chance that people can see first Nokia Windows Phone device this year but this time Nokia’s CEO has confidently said about its release this year.

While he said one device will launch later this year , he also mentioned that the mass volume of the product would be available to the users in 2012.These Nokia Windows Phone smartphone will all be high specs smartphones while some of them will have dual core processor.

Our primary smartphone strategy is to focus on the Windows phone.

I have increased confidence that we will launch our first device based on the Windows platform later this year and we will ship our product in volume in 2012.

But Microsoft will have a different strategy for their Windows Phone devices as recently it has been announced by dev of ChevronWP7 Labs will soon jailbreak for the WP devices and that jailbreak would be approved by Microsoft itself. This jailbreak would allow users who want to develop their aps and use it with their phones or distribute it to other jailbreak users.

This jailbreak service will not be totally free as ChevronWP7 teams would charge a few dollars through your paypal account but its cost would definitely be less then official developer’s license.
