Nowadays its common to see Android & ios users in your vicinity. Your friends may be its users with that eaten Apple logo, default Apple ringtone & the beep, where some sample these devices(iPhone) & give up when they can't find the back button(they are not familiar to Apple ios Ecosystem)- These are the Android users. Stating my opinion - Android is for Demotics.
This is the reason why we see the share of Android in the mobile OS pie is bigger. But these users are unaware they are open to vulnerabilities. The company(coughingly Google) never makes efforts to update every handsets running their OS with the Feature Updates & the Security Patches.
(My fanboyism makes me write the above)
And here it's me entirely different from these peeps, using the Windows 10 "Mobile Edition" on my Lumia 640xl & Lumia 950xl.(yes I own 2 beautiful Lumias)
Rumour has it Windows Phone is Dead. So now that Windows 10 Mobile is officially been declared "No longer a focus" - by Microsoft.
I would like to commemorate its existence by sharing a good time. I had when using it out there in the world.
Here's one I had.
One day last year(my pre final year) at a coffee shop across the street of Fergusson College Road (PUNE) on a visit to Viju Uncle. I was eating my lunch & suddenly remembered I need to complete my Seminar Report {entitled as "Prepaid Energy Meters Using Smartcards"- it's like pay before use, no bill production(saving trees) & reducing human errors(increased bills or double bills)} in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the award of degree of Bachelor of Engineering Technology.
That time I didn't have a Laptop but still needed Productivity & had my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to my Lumia 950xl.
A few minutes later, an older couple at the table in front of me start whispering and sneaking glances at me. I could tell that they wanted to ask me something. The lady finally turns around and asks me about my keyboard and mouse and what kind of phone I am using. I mention that it's a Microsoft phone called Lumia 950xl and that I got the keyboard and mouse from Amazon. She gives this slightly surprised look on her face and says: I didn't know that Microsoft's phones could do that. We thought you just happened to have a really small computer tablet.
It made me smile.
They started to ask me more questions about it so I told them of all the neat & great things it could do. They appreciated and thanked me for answering their questions.
As I was paying, the barista said: I wanted to ask you about your phone too. I thought it was cool how you were using it like a little computer. I think I'd get me one instead of a laptop.
I agreed and gave her my thanks.
That was my good experience.
Microsoft has future plans for phones & new OS but still not clear just going on internally. I realised the power of Windows & Microsoft hardware when one of the funny anecdote was Microsoft handed these devices(new category of mobile- Satya Nadella) to their developers Directors and leaders across the Windows Organization & the company started getting all those bug reports saying the battery meter's not working. It says I still have a full charge. It turned out not to be a bug; it just has a great battery life.
I will be waiting for the new category of mobile.
Till,
This is NOT the end of "Windows on Mobile", but this is the end of Windows 10 "Mobile Edition".
