Nokia is preparing Windows Phone Champagne?

Nokia has apparently engaged in the development of the new smartphone operating system Windows Phone, which is lit up in the application I'm a WP7 called Champagne. From the logs of the application can be found that the machine is running an operating system Windows Phone version 7.10.8711, which is presumably the future release of the Tango. But it is necessary to point out that the application logic itself does not indicate the origin of the device, and it may not be a commercial machine, but only the test sample, which is used to verify that the operating system. To date, Nokia has not to publish any information about what machines and how much it intends to produce in 2012, except that the reported intention to penetrate the U.S. market by supplying low cost, entry-level smartphones. Also, representatives of Nokia noted that in mid-2012 may appear smart phones running Windows Phone 8, which will support communication NFC. According to unofficial information is known about what version of Windows Phone Tango will focus on a simple entry-level vehicles, the minimum hardware specifications which will be lower than the market model.

Cyan Nokia Lumia 800 UK release Dec, pink coming early 2012

The cyan Nokia Lumia 800 will be launching in the first week of December, while the pink version won’t be available in the UK until after Christmas sources familiar with the matter have told Pocket-lint.

We’ve always known that the cyan and pink versions of the Nokia Lumia 800 wouldn’t be with us on the 16 November launch day in the UK, however Pocket-lint can now confirm when exactly they will be launching in the UK.

According to a very trusted source, the cyan Nokia Lumia 800 will launch in the first week of December, two weeks after the official launch of the new phone, while the pink Nokia Lumia 800 will be in shops early 2012. Those hoping for a pink Nokia Christmas will have to wait a little longer it seems.

Earlier in the week Nokia confirmed to Pocket-lint that the black coloured Lumia 800 was still on schedule to launch on 16 November as planed and that it would be available via contract and SIM free via selected retailers.

Nokia limits sales of its Lumia 800

Delayed until next year for some

FINNISH PHONE MAKER Nokia has confirmed that it is allowing only selected partners to sell its Lumia 800 smartphone.
Nokia has confirmed with THE INQUIRER that only Vodafone, Three, Orange and T-Mobile will sell the handset among mobile operators in UK. The only retailers to get Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone will be The Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U, which will sell it SIM-free as well as on contract.
All other retailers including big names like Amazon will have to wait until next year to sell the device SIM-free. Online retailer Clove said that its stock has been delayed until January 2012.

Clove said, "It's bad news on the Nokia front this afternoon unfortunately. We can now confirm that the Nokia Lumia 800 will not be available SIM-free in the UK until January 2012, although it will still be launched in the UK on November 16th with a contract and will be available from selected stores."
Mark Squires, communications director at Nokia told us, "The fact is though that the vast majority of the operators and major high street retailers have taken up the product and are throwing their support behind it. Therefore we are making sure that by using these channels the Lumia 800 will be available to our customers in the widest variety of outlets from SIM free to contract. We have also worked extensively to train these channels to support the product. From Q1 next year we will be supplying the product to our wider UK distribution network."
The handset is Nokia's first Windows Phone 7.5 device and the firm is due to launch it next week on 16 November. We wonder what impact forcing consumers to go to only a handful of retailers might have on sales.
This comes as a disappointment to smaller retailers such as Clove, which told us, "Very frustrating, we've had loads of interest!"
We asked if Nokia is confident that the phone will sell well even though it is limited to a handful of retailers. Squires said, "Yes. The most important thing is that folk who go to purchase in person can clearly see the differences and capabilities of what they are buying. Anyone who wants a Lumia will find it online and in store at a wide variety of price points and bundles very easily."

Will there be a Silverlight 6 (and does it matter)?

Summary: Microsoft is poised to release to manufacturing Silverlight 5. There’s word from some of my contacts that this might be the last major release of Silverlight, but Microsoft isn’t confirming or denying.

Silverlight 5, the most recent — and possibly last — version of Microsoft’s cross-platform browser plug-in, is poised to be released to manufacturing (RTM) before the end of November.

Several of my customer and partner contacts have told me they have heard from their own Microsoft sources over the past couple of weeks that Silverlight 5 is the last version of Silverlight that Microsoft will release. They said they are unsure whether there will be any service packs for it, and they are also not clear on how long Silverlight 5 will be supported by Microsoft.

(There’s no end date yet on Microsoft’s lifecycle page for free support for Silverlight for Silverlight 4. According to the page, Microsoft must give developers and customers a year heads-up before ending support for any given Silverlight version. Free support for Silverlight 3 ended in April 2011.)

One of my contacts said he believed that the final version of Silverlight 5 may only work with Internet Explorer on Windows and won’t work on Mac OS platforms or with other browsers at all. (Silverlight 4 supports Windows and Mac OS X and the IE, Chrome and Safari browsers.)

Yes, I know — everyone’s been rushing to proclaim Silverlight dead for more than a year now. In fact, I’m frequently cited as the source of that prognostication, in spite of the fact that all I’ve actually reported is that Microsoft’s strategy with Silverlight shifted and that Silverlight is no longer Microsoft’s cross-platform runtime solution. Instead, Microsoft currently positions Silverlight as a tool for creating rich media, line-of-business and smartphone apps. When I wrote about Microsoft’s morphing Silverlight strategy back in the fall of 2010, I noted that company officials only committed to one more release after Silverlight 4 and said nothing more about the Silverlight platform’s longer-term future.

Microsoft officials are remaining mum about whether there will be any more Silverlight releases after version 5. I asked again on November 8 to see if the Softies would say anything at all regarding the company’s post-Silverlight 5 plans and was told by a spokesperson that the company had “nothing to share at this time regarding exact timing, future releases or support.”

There is some anecdotal evidence suggesting Silverlight 5 may be the end of the road — beyond the continued reassignments and/or defections of many at Microsoft formerly working on Silverlight and the major reorg affecting the Silverlight team earlier this year.

Here’s what we know. In an October 26 Webcast with the Linked.Net user group, Scott Guthrie said that Silverlight 5 would ship “next month,” meaning November. (I’m hearing the actual RTM date could be this week, in fact.)

Guthrie also said during the same Webcast that Microsoft was close to shipping Silverlight on “other devices” (meaning the Xbox 360, I’m assuming). In his responses to Webcast participants’ questions about the future of Silverlight, Guthrie didn’t mention anything about Silverlight being continued beyond Silverlight 5 or provide any indication there would be anything coming beyond Silverlight 5.

As many will be quick to note, Guthrie’s decision not to talk about the future beyond Silverlight 5 may simply be due to Microsoft’s increasing information lockdown on futures and roadmaps. It’s also worth noting that Guthrie is, as of earlier this year, focusing on Windows Azure app development and not leading the Silverlight team.

Those caveats aside, I found Guthrie’s choice of wording on the Webcast interesting. He talked about Microsoft’s mission in making XAML “a first class citizen” and differentiating from its competitors using XAML. He emphasized that Microsoft is neither moving away from XAML nor discontinuing its support of XAML. He didn’t say the same of Silverlight.

Is the distinction a big deal? I mean, do developers really care whether Microsoft continues to crank out new Silverlight releases, as long as those who want to use Silverlight to develop for Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Xbox can use their XAML skills to develop for those platforms for (some unknown number of) years to come?

One tech consultant with roots in the Microsoft world said the XAML/Silverlight lines are blurring.

“It’s pretty clear to me that the principles of Silverlight, including the use of XAML as a markup language, C# and VB .NET as programming languages, a streamlined .NET CLR (Common Language Runtime) profile, packaged deployment over HTTP and a sandboxed security environment, are alive and well in the native XAML/.NET approach to developing Metro-style apps on Windows 8. It may not be not Silverlight to the letter, but it’s Silverlight in spirit and natively supported by the operating system to boot,” said Andrew Brust, a Microsoft Regional Director and founder of Blue Badge Insights.

(Brust noted, for the record, he hasn’t heard whether Silverlight 5 is the last version of Silverlight or not.)

If Silverlight 5 is the end of the line for Silverlight, do you care? Why or why not?

Update: Looks like Microsoft isn’t the only one wrestling with what to do with its rich media plug-in and runtime. As unearthed yesterday by my ZDNet blogging colleague Jason Perlow, Adobe announced on November 9 that it is discontinuing work on the mobile version of Flash and is instead focusing on HTML5. Adobe is continuing to develop new Flash releases but is focusing that work for PCs and mobile apps. It would be great to see Microsoft issue a similar, comprehensive statement about its future intentions with Silverlight….

Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL Announce Display Advertising Agreements

Partnership to benefit advertisers, agencies and publishers, provide more efficient access to premium online ad inventory.

Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and AOL (NYSE: AOL) announced agreements that should dramatically improve the process of buying and selling premium online display inventory. The agreements will allow ad networks operated by Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL to offer each other's premium nonreserved online display inventory to their respective advertising customers.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

While agencies and advertisers can continue to choose to partner across Yahoo! Network Plus, AOL's Advertising.com and the Microsoft Media Network (each of which is differentiated by its capabilities around data, optimization, packaging and inventory), this partnership will also offer the efficiency of buying premium display inventory at scale to reach customers and audiences. Simultaneously, the partnership should enhance the demand for and value of each party's display advertising offerings as well as provide better yield for both participating publishers and advertisers.

"We're thrilled to partner with Microsoft and AOL and bring to market what we believe will be a more efficient, effective and more effortless way to access true premium inventory and formats," said Ross Levinsohn, Yahoo! executive vice president Americas. "There has a been a significant shift in how inventory is bought and sold, and we're now 100 percent focused on controlling our own destiny, working directly with marketers and agencies and driving better returns for our advertising partners."

"Enhancing choice and scale in today's display advertising market is 'a rising tide that lifts all boats'," said Rik van der Kooi, corporate vice president of the Microsoft Advertising Business Group. "This partnership will create an opportunity where advertisers and publishers alike can benefit from easier access to — and demand for — high-quality inventory. The fact that we're joining together to offer this kind of access to quality — yet each with our own differentiated ad offerings — is something that will benefit the market as a whole."

"We are excited to be part of this partnership," said Ned Brody, chief revenue officer, AOL. "Today's announcement sets in motion the opportunity for advertisers to achieve scaled solutions across premium publishers. This should reduce friction in the marketplace, which will benefit both advertisers and publishers. And this partnership will take our existing Advertising.com partnerships with both Microsoft and Yahoo! to a new level."

By integrating one another's real-time bidding (RTB) technologies to facilitate the availability of nonreserved inventory by early 2012, Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL expect to have the opportunity to access each other's nonreserved inventory to achieve the benefits of scale and efficiency. The Microsoft Advertising Exchange and Yahoo's! Right Media Exchange will initially serve as the two marketplaces from which the partners can procure this inventory for resale to advertisers and agencies. AOL may, at its discretion, opt to use its own exchange technology solution subsequent to the launch of the partnership.

Under the terms of the nonexclusive agreements, each company will continue to make its own decisions, differentiate its offerings and set its own controls for how it operates any exchanges, ad networks or other aspects of its display businesses. They will actively compete with each other for both advertiser spend and publisher partners based on their own unique product differentiators.

Effective in the United States, the partnership is based on the premise of audience-based selling across a large number of sites and is not expected to affect direct sales made by each partner's respective internal teams. In addition to the United States, Yahoo! and AOL will have an agreement that extends to Canada. Microsoft's Canada business is not participating directly in the agreement.

Mozilla developers building entirely web based mobile OS

Mozilla is working on a new entirely web based operating system called Boot 2 Gecko. Pics of the B2G interface appeared on the Mozilla wiki and show an icon based OS, not unlike Apple's.

Developers are currently testing B2G and its "proprietary, single-vendor stacks". They are building new APIs for things like camera, telephone and SMS capabilities.

Without getting too bogged down in technical details, Mozilla is essentially working on the basics of a mobile OS, like contacts and actual phone functionality. They are also getting everything ready for deadline and on track for what is said to be a product demo by the end of the year.

The first screens of the OS hint at some rather interesting ideas. Swiping icons to jump straight to an app, a la HTC Sense 3.5 is a particular favourite. There is also the ability to have either hardware or non-physical buttons for things like back and menu.

Last we heard from Mozilla on the OS was that it was going to be HTML5 powered and use Android just for booting and drivers.

Not much else is known about the Mozilla OS other than the above. One thing's for sure, it is a brave move entering into a mobile market as OS-saturated as the current. B2G is going to have to be pretty special in order to steal any of the limelight away from Android, iOS and WP7.

HP has updated line of Windows-tablet

HP so far supplied to the market only a Windows-tablet - HP Slate 500, which features the fall of 2011 could not be called modern. Now, his successor should come more modern HP Slate 2, and while it has similar characteristics, which include a 8.9-inch screen with 1024 x 600 pixels, but I got a newer Intel Atom Z670 processor in a line of Oak Trail with a clock frequency of 1 and 66 GHz. Theoretically, it brings not only a great performance, but also increases the battery life from five to six hours. Other changes include both hardware and software improvements. So HP Slate 2 was faster SSD 64GB and optional docking station available keyboard-hook through the protocol Bluetooth. Among the software innovations - TPM data security in a network and support system for fast entry Swype. Another advantage over the predecessor should be reduced to $ 699 price, which for a hundred dollars cheaper than the Slate 500 at the start of sales. 's Guide from Microsoft sees the tablet from Hewlett-Packard's perhaps the main arguments against the Apple iPad, turning a blind eye to that none of the Windows-plates can not be compared in popularity to any iPad, or even with Android-devices. Steve Ballmer has continued to repeat that users are interested in tablets with a "full" of Windows. His confidence is HP representatives did not share. They note that the updated HP Slate Tablet insignificant and do not see a big market for the device. Much high hopes on Windows 8, which appears in the middle or the end of 2012. It was then that HP expects to compete and fight for market tablet devices.

WP7-Nokia smartphones will have processors NovaThor

Timing devices are also not yet known. Besides the characteristics of these systems-on-chip while ahead of the operating system of Windows Phone 7 and, according to unofficial roadmap, for quite some time will be.
