Zeehunter Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 why pureview doesn't have windows? its caries the same old symbian which almost every reviewer slashed. They should've just put the goddamn Windows in pureview and it might sell well. Pureview is just the name of camera tech .. Nokia 808 is a symbian phone Nokia had already invested a lot in Symbian with pureview even before the MS-Nokia deal was inked It would have taken immense resources to port it to WinPho It's confirmed that Nokia's launch WinPho 8 will have Pureview camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeehunter Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 MS Office 2013 announced New logo - Word 2013 - Microsoft is focusing on improved ways to read Word documents in its 2013 version. Word’s new onscreen Read Mode reflows text automatically in columns to fit a particular device screen, which makes it easier to read documents on the move. The full screen mode works equally well by removing all the distractions typically created by the various toolbars and options in Word. Both views let you scroll horizontally to read a Word document on a Windows 8 tablet, and there’s a pinch-to-zoom implementation for text. An Object Zoom feature also lets you zoom in and create tables, charts, and images in documents whilst filling the screen. PDF support is also greatly improved in Office 2013, allowing users to natively open PDF documents and reflow them into Word documents. Initially, documents will open in a Protected View, but an enable editing button lets you modify the content and save the document as a PDF again. Decades later, Word PDF editing still isn’t perfect, but if you're looking for an editable Word document from a PDF then it works well. Online video is now supported in Word 2013, so content that has been embedded into a document is playable within the doc providing an internet connection is present. You can add video from Bing Video, YouTube, or by using a video embed code. I found that the videos played in Flash for me rather than HTML5 video. For easy document reading, the new expand and collapse option lets users collapse paragraphs in read mode with a tap or click. Word 2013 has also added a bunch of collaborative features, including the ability to present a document online. The presenting feature lets users, who don’t have to have Word installed, view a document as if it was a presentation where the presenter can scroll through the document and a viewer can follow. It's similar to the existing implementation in PowerPoint 2010. Excel 2013 - A staple in businesses worldwide, Excel already feels like it has an overwhelming amount of features that even your office Excel whiz may have barely scratched the surface of, but Microsoft is adding a few more in Excel 2013. Flash fill is perhaps one of the biggest improvements to make Excel easier. The option will reformat and rearrange data automatically based on your own use of Excel 2013 and auto-complete remaining data with no formulas or macros required. During my use I didn't find that it was perfect every time but on the formatting side it certainly helped to keep a document consistent. A new Quick Trend feature will provide a chart that analyzes historical time series data, and a new Excel Add-in scans spreadsheets for errors, broken links, and inconsistencies. The scanner will be particularly useful for auditors or system admins who want to move documents to new locations without having to worry about breaking existing links. Powerpoint 2013 PowerPoint, the fail-safe for office workers and students worldwide, is getting a few important updates to help presenters in a world of social networks and multi-screen devices. One interesting change is the ability to now insert pictures from Facebook, Flickr, and other services directly into PowerPoint 2013 without having to save them first. The feature works by association with a Microsoft account and sign in process through PowerPoint 2013. You can insert pictures through SkyDrive, SharePoint, Office.com Clip Art, or even images from Bing's search engine — but there’s no way to insert an image from a URL. Presenting in PowerPoint 2013 feels a lot easier thanks to an improved Presenter View. If you're using a second screen, as many do with projectors, then the updated view lets you control what's shown to viewers while keeping an eye on notes and the next slide due. Audiences only see the slide that's presented, but there's an option to swap displays if required. An Auto-extend feature makes sure that any additional screens are detected and that the Presenter View is projected onto the correct screen automatically.

Harish Sangwan Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Guys...I am having trouble with my Omnia W. I have been using normal GPRS service from Vodafone, which is working fine. But now got 3G activated and my phone acting werid when set on 3G only or automatic mode. Everytime I set the phone to 3G only mode, it keeps restarting after a few seconds and no signal either. It does get some signal and shows 3G/3G+ at for a couple of seconds but keeps disappearing before it eventually restarts. Have no clue whats going on.

Death Stryke Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Sad state of Office 2013 Touch Support I cannot believe MS is thinking that interface wll work on a touchscreen. Really somtimes their 1 size fits all ideology sounds crap to me. Touch screens require very different UIs and design principles. Less buttons knobs, more rotations, swiping etc should be employed. Still skeptic of how MS tablets turn out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Stryke Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Win8 will be great on desktops and laptops. No doubt. Win 7 was great and this will be too. But that design doesn't translate to all devices. This metro thing is just an exterior, a Theme of sorts on top of the existing Win 7 look. Which is why I'm skeptic of how it'll work on touch screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man In The Box Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Damn, just downloaded the entire Windows 8 Release Preview but it keeps saying 'Your PC can't run Windows 8. Contact your PC manufacturer to see if you can upgrade the system BIOS.' Apparently I checked online and I have to enable something called NX in the Security Settings under BIOS. But on checking, I have found that this is already enabled. Anyone else who faced this problem? I checked that my laptop meets all requirements for W8 Release Preview and I have sufficient hard disk space as well. I'm using a Dell XPS M1530 laptop and am currently on Windows Vista SP2 OS. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man In The Box Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Using Windows 8 Release Preview since yesterday and really liking it. The Metro UI is decent and I was wrong to think that this could only work well with a touchscreen monitor. The Internet Explorer in the Metro UI is good too and I like the overall speed of IE 10 I think I will buy Windows 8 when it comes out. Loving the Kindle app as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
