wPhone: Window's own Mobile Phone

AT AN EVENT to show off upcoming Christmas goodies, Microsoft let slip to the INQ that Windows Mobile 6.5 is to be re-christened Windows Phone.

This, says Vole, is an effort to unboggle the minds of the consumer with all the "6.1" and "6.5" business that exists now, and which they're afraid will get even worse when Windows Mobile 7 arrives.

The name change also "reflects the upcoming desktop operating system release where people away from their PC can have the same experience everywhere," says Microsoft. Are you suitably un-boggled?

The name Windows Phone applies to Windows Mobile 6.1, 6.5 and multitouch Windows Mobile 7. At least something in the Windows universe is forwards and backwards compatible.

Features of the new platform (that is WM 6.5, aka Windows Phone) include back-up of all SMS and email content into Vole's cloud, remote disabling of the handset and inclusion of an Itunes-alike Windows Mobile software repository called Market Place.

If this sounds like a phoney story to you, it did to us as well but we have this confirmed in a video which should be around on Friday, included in a first look preview of the final version of Windows Phone µ

Test Taking Strategies for Fresh Graduates

Test Taking Strategies for Fresh Graduates. How to take an occupational test? How to prepare for tests? How to answer employee questions? Tips for taking tests! These are some of the reverberating excerpts I hear a lot of times from fresh graduates of many universities. I wish to shed some light into this matter by sharing experiences I had with several multinational companies that I applied and worked for. Today, I will be speaking and sharing the wonderful sets of learning I gained to 200 graduating students of University of Iloilo-PHINMA Education Network. I wish to be of help to these students by exposing to them the common tests that employers give, how to prepare for an examination, how to prepare for the big battle (of passing the test of the student's company of choice). This is my street-wise approach that I use and for many years have led me to join big companies. If you wish to grab a copy of this training, please leave your e-mail address by posting under the c...
