  mercredi 1er février 2012, par rudyhuyn

  Disclaimer Dans quelques jours je vais avoir la chance de rencontrer les équipes de développement de windows phone à Redmond pour évoquer le futur de windows phone, je profite donc d’être vierge de tout cela, pour parler tout de suite ma vision du futur. Cet article est donc basé sur mes idées et souhaits de la plateforme, aucunement d’informations provenant de microsoft. Quand ? Bientôt ! Depuis le début, il était prévu une mise à jour par an, alternant mise à jour mineur et une mise à jour majeur, (...)

• Memory Profiling for Application Performance

  mardi 31 janvier 2012, par Pratap Lakshman

  Performance is a concern for all but the most trivial of applications, and in a constrained environment like the phone it is all the more so; performance issues directly manifest themselves in the user experience. Memory usage is one such source of performance issues that can degrade user experience, and the Windows Phone Marketplace enforces a technical certification requirement that an application must not exceed 90 MB of RAM usage, except on devices that have more than 256 MB of memory. (...)

• HTML5 on Windows Phone: A Simple Boilerplate

  mardi 31 janvier 2012, par Rob Tiffany

  Internet Explorer 9 running on Windows Phone 7.5 has seriously raised the mobile web profile of Microsoft’s latest phone operating system.  Up until recently, it’s been all about the apps written in Silverlight.  With hardware-accelerated video, text rendering, canvas drawing, and the high-speed “Chakra” JavaScript engine, IE9 compiled for ARM processors means business.  But diving into HTML5 without considering the differences in characteristics of mobile web browsers is a mistake.  Therefore, (...)

  If you plan your days using Google Calendar, you’ll be happy to know that the company’s Sync team has now made it possible to show appointments from multiple calendars on your Windows Phone 7.5 (thanks, fellas!). To add them, just go to m.google.com/sync on your phone. Once you’ve logged in, select your device and the calendars you want to sync (you can choose up to 25—if you’re really that organized). Tap Save and you’re done! Note that your new calendars won’t show up until your phone’s next (...)

• Nokia reaches over 1 million Windows Phone handset sales

  jeudi 26 janvier 2012, par bAN01TgAZ

• Near Mode: What it is (and isn’t)

  samedi 21 janvier 2012, par Kinect for Windows Team

  There has been a lot of speculation on what near mode is since we announced it.  As I mentioned in the original post, the Kinect for Windows device has new firmware which enables the depth camera to see objects as close as 50 centimeters in front of the device without losing accuracy or precision, with graceful degradation down to 40 centimeters. The lenses on the Kinect for Windows sensor are the same as the Kinect for Xbox 360 sensor, so near mode does not change the field of view as some (...)
