Microsoft turning phones into PCs feels like the future

Microsoft turning phones into PCs feels like the future:

One of the big announcements from Microsoft at its developer conference last week to create was the ability to turn a smartphone with Windows 10 on a PC. Dubbed Continuum for phones, which is designed to take advantage of new Universal applications that run through Windows 10 on phones, computers, tablets, and the Xbox One. If you use a mobile version of Excel on your phone, that art magic becomes a resizing and keyboard-mouse version and environment for use in a larger screen. It feels like the future.

While Microsoft has just shown a simulation mocked-up in the construction phase, in a separate meeting, the company provided a complete demonstration Continuum for phones with more information about the property. It works by connecting to a wired or wireless dock by miracast. Microsoft has even supported wireless dongles where you use your phone as a controller with a touchscreen and software keyboard.

The telephone interface Can Evolve UP A big screen TV OÜ one, and to start it Takes Same menu found south tile FOR THE PHONE enable access to applications. Although Windows 10 office Whether resemble those, there are some subtle differences, and the applications will not work here Traditional office. In a sense, he sent As Windows RT natural successor, but one who is useful if developers create Universal actually pay the necessary applications Really Enjoying It.

Microsoft demo looked solid, even with some glitches here and there, thanks to nature at the beginning of the software. Own business applications, while recasting waiting to enjoy the big screen. There are also ways for developers and applications to take advantage of extra screen as a second, allowing you to broadcast a movie on one screen while continuing to read email from your phone.

Microsoft is really runs this emerging market, where a phone is the main computing device, which is an area where this type of function could be popular. But it is not the only company trying to turn a phone into a PC. Canonical done similar things with USB keyboards connected to your phone Ubuntu OS, and Motorola tried to sell an expensive house to transform its Atrix Android phone on a PC. Other solutions, including the REDFLY, are not really dropped for lack of applications and broader support. The implementation of Microsoft could be so limited by the narrowness of the phones in the Windows market, but other solutions do not have the support of a company or reflected giant natural interface software. Microsoft's solution feels like the best to date.

Clearly there are obstacles to over come, but Microsoft has big ambitions for Continuum. "We envision a world in which the powers of telephone and experiences more screens, each screen can be a PC," said Keri Moran, a program manager for Windows at Microsoft. This could mean that laptops have a keyboard and display, but no storage or processing within and external phone will do all the work. the same applies to tablets, where you have a super slim device with only one screen and battery, all powered by a phone. If Microsoft can convince developers to create universal Windows applications, and consumers to buy phones with Windows, then it certainly feels like the future.
