The 2011 louis vuitton bags
Louis Vuitton Outlet can you ensure there is no fragmentation when it comes to the Microsoft Windows Phone ecosystem when you have device partners, such as Samsung or LG, that might want to add their own special sauce to differentiate their hardware from someone else's in the ecosystem? Lees: Samsung and others can add features to the software. But we want the experience to be predictable for the user so we don't want everyone changing everything. For example, we don't want manufacturers changing the home screen, because then every phone is different and there's not predictability for the consumer. But OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] can add a live tile. Software is still software and things can be added and changed.For example, LG wanted to add DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) capabilities to
Louis Vuitton Bags their initial Windows Phone devices that would allow people to connect their phones to an LG TV. So they made a live tile with that built in. And users could easily access that functionality and they felt that was able to add value to their device.Do you think that the fragmentation headaches that users and developers are experiencing with Google Android right now will eventually become an opportunity for Microsoft to grab market share? Lees: Fragmentation is one issue. But there are other opportunities for us. We plan to build in a lot of core functionality into the software, so that users don't need to open a separate app for everything. For instance, other smartphones may have several apps for instant mess
Louis Vuitton Handbagsaging, social networking, and photo sharing. But what we've done with Mango is integrate messaging from different applications together. So PC IM messaging is integrated with messaging on social-networking sites and that's integrated with SMS text messaging.It's not just about the individual apps, but instead it's about what the overall experience is for the user. People want to do some core things with their phones. They want to connect and communicate with friends, family, and people they work with. They want to access mobile apps so they can do things. And they want to harness the power of the Net, which is why we provide the full IE 9 browser experience and Bing in the phone. We know certain apps get very high usage on phones, such as the camera. In fact, it's the third most used app on a phone. But on other smartphone platforms, you have to get into the camera app, take a picture. And then open up Facebook to send it and tag it. And if someone comments on that picture, you have to go back into Facebook to check.With Mango and Windows Phone it all just comes to you. You can take a picture and immediately tag and upload it. And then notifications are pushed to you right on your phone.And if you don't want to see all those notifications, you can filter it or turn it off.Microsoft has to innovate quickly to keep up in this competitive market. Mango is the second major update
Louis Vuitton handbagsto the Windows Phone operating system since it was launched last September. Should we expect this pace to continue?Lees: The pace at which we release updates is important. This is the second major one we've released in less than a year. Right now, we're talking about this release. But clearly we have a roadmap for others.In general though for our strategy, we don't want to do lots of minor releases of features and software. In other words, we don't want the pace to be so quick that these updates become insignificant events. But this is a competitive market and we need to be quick with updates. So there's a balance to being timely and making sure that we don't overwhelm consumers and the ecosystem.When Microsoft and Nokia first announced their partnership, I wondered if device partners, such as HTC or LG would balk. I figured they would assume that Nokia might get special treatment. Now that it's been a few months, how have these partners reacted?Lees: Our OEMs want a vibrant ecosystem and the bigger that ecosystem gets, the better it is for them. Nokia helps us add scale. They sell about 40 percent of the world's cell phones worldwide. So that offers a big distribution channel for Windows Phone devices. So the reaction since the announcement from our partners has been very positive. In fact, I think it gave them the confidence to accelerate some of their plans, because it increases the potential of the overall ecosystem. And we'll start to see this with Mango. So I've been very happy with the reaction of our partners. How do you feel about the relationship Microsoft has with its developers?Lees: Well, we've
