Respect to windows phone


I was having a look at the windows phone 7, and as i'm testing out what each button does, Holding down the home button, activates a voice search screen, like Siri or google voice, and i'll be having a blog about that in the upcoming weeks. Holding down the Back button, reveals something that i'm not sure what it is, could it be a multi-tasking UI screen, or could it just be a recent apps screen, I'm not apple to close the apps, such as swiping them up like Webos or holding the app down, so i get a new menu screen.  it's not going to be a big blog, since it's just a pondering question and could anybody else who's got a windows powered smartphone, could they enlighten me. I'm just curious of what it is. 

As i was using the Nokia lumia, it was very intrusive and not so laid back as iOS. windows Phone features live tiles, If you're screen is hovering over the people app, it goes through the pictures in your in your contacts and displays them little segments. It's the same thing with the Facebook application, the Facebook Icon has Live tile enabled features. The messages application is very good how it's white on black giving a greater perception on the eyes. I don't know if my eyes are funny or it's just what everybody is like but i find reading Black writing on a white screen, very hard to read and hard to scan through it but if i invert the colours and read white writing on a black screen, It's much better for my eyes and it's much Much easier to read. I love the contrast on the screen. The HTC titan has a 4" inch screen at a resolution of 480x800 and that just brings everything closer to your eyes and with all the colourful textures that are found in the windows Phone environment, everything just stands out.

Personally, i quite love the simple user interface and the live tiles on Windows phone but the only restriction is apps when compared to android and iOS. Most of the people say that when they moved over to a windows phone, The applications that they regularly used, we supported or supported by the manufacture.

Thanks for reading. Sorry it's been a late blog and there might no be a roundup of tech news since i'm quite busy this friday night.
