Connectwise windows phone 7

Marketplace hub: Microsoft is deeply rethinking its Marketplace strategy for Windows Phone 7 right down to the name -- it's now officially "Windows Phone Marketplace," a minor tweak from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile moniker they'd used before. The revised Marketplace will be much more than an app store -- instead, it'll be billed as a one-stop shop for a variety of content from apps and Xbox games to music, and carriers will also have the ability to customize it by adding their own highlighted content.

Much more on Marketplace below. Office hub: Microsoft's bread and butter, but so far we've just seen the hub itself -- none of its deeper functionality like document editing. Ultimately, based on the new UI paradigms and user experience directives of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is going to have to rebuild these applications from the ground up. As long as they're able to make them super functional while keeping the Metro look intact, this should be a real win -- we're still curious as to how the company plans to cram all that information into a UI which is focused on doing away with visual noise, and the lack of system-wide clipboard functionality is going to be an issue here, no matter how much Microsoft insists users only want to view documents and add comments.

Seesmic: This is more or less a straight port of the same experience Seesmic offers on Windows on Mac, a testament to how easily they were able to port their Silverlight-based client. Shazam: Shazam's been pretty great at making sure that it has presence on every mobile platform of note, and Windows Phone 7 is no exception -- they took the stage at MIX10 to commit to the platform, so you can rest easy knowing that you'll have no trouble identifying songs with your shiny new WP7S handset.

Pictures is, as the name implies, where your pictures go. Are you likely to need or want to edit Excel documents from your phone very often? No — but the option is there. Notes can be synced back and forth to your Windows Live account — a nice touch for those of us that use their smartphones as a grocery shopping list. One of my main irks when I first started exploring: certain things seemed to take too many clicks. What about games that I play often; why would I want them tucked in some other app?

Weeks before the handsets are even set to launch, the market already seems pretty well populated. Netflix, Shazam, OpenTable.. How do you know which one is the one made by your favorite company? Netflix, for example, worked swimmingly. Perhaps the best feature of all: if an app developer wants to give their users a taste before they buy, the marketplace supports it. Just tap that, and the demo will start installing.

Just about everything we said in the Pre-Review still fits the bill here. To quote:. After a few hundred mostly-positive words, you might think that Windows Phone 7 is edging on perfection. Not quite. Is it fair to compare a brand new product to things that have had years on the market to build up their feature sets?

Will Windows Phone 7 get these things in the future? Might I recommend buying a Windows Phone 7 handset? The Back button allows you to step backwards through the last applications you used. Well, not for every application anyway. Use it within Marketplace, and you can search for Apps.

Very useful. The closest I got to this was the Speech Recognition. I was pleasantly surprised to find this worked for all my contacts, and all my applications — even 3rd party installed apps — regardless of how unusual the name was. Very impressive indeed! Sadly, I was distinctly underwhelmed. The music player aspect of WP7 is very good, it just works and works well. Talking of the lock screen, I loved it! As well as displaying my next calendar appointment, at a glance it showed me how many outstanding e-mails and SMS I had.

There are some lovely integration surprises throughout WP7. For instance, the camera which was excellent on the HTC Pro 7, and had a Hard Key to wake up the camera and take shots is connected to Windows Live Skydrive , so you can upload snaps to store in the Cloud, and keep private, share with certain friends or everyone. There is also integration for photos to send directly to Flickr , or e-mail.

There was Facebook upload support too, but I never got it to work — but this was easily circumvented by using a Facebook e-mail upload.

Whereas the iPhone requires you to open specific apps to get to information, with WP7 you had access to information through multiple avenues. I like this a lot. For this test, I found myself having to e-mail myself certain files to get them on the WP7. The trouble is, WP7 is still a distant 4 th behind iOS, Android and even Blackberry in the minds of 3rd party app creators.

I could go on. The fact is, there are simply not as many apps as iOS and Android, and the apps that are available feel more expensive. This price difference made me reluctant to casually buy interesting looking apps as I would on iOS. I missed my Apps, badly. I got bored of WP7. I put it down, and found my hand creeping to the iPhone.
