Turn Your Android or iPhone Into a Windows Phone

Microsoft wants to convert your Android or iPhone into a Windows Phone and all you have to do it go to this link while on your mobile internet browser and away you go. Once you enter the webpage you will be able to run your Android or iPhone as a Windows Phone device with a basic user experience; make calls, emails, messages, scheduling, contacts, and nearby search. While the experience is much different from my Android phone, I can say that it was a welcomed change that I wouldn’t mind using more often. I enjoyed the Metro UI and the look/feel of the live tiles on my 4.3 inch screen.  Will this change the minds of die-hard Android or iPhone users? Possibly not, but I do believe that the average smartphone user (such as me) should definitely take a look at a Windows Phone when it comes time for an upgrade.

Nokia Lumia 900 Revealed In Developer Video

Last week, Nokia revealed a video that was “supposed” to be intended for developers, but made its way to the consumer side thanks to All About Phones.  The video was created to inform developers about Nokia’s “Stunning New Hardware” and “Dynamic Microsoft OS”.  While the information in the developer video is nothing new to the public, the video is said to feature a Nokia 900 phone that has not yet reached the hands of consumers.  Many are speculating as to what phone it could be and sources purport the device to be a Lumia 900, sporting a massive 4.3″ screen (compared to the Lumia 800), but nothing is certain at this point.  As of now, we have little information about the device’s hardware features although more may be revealed at this year’s CES event in January.  At least we know Microsoft and Nokia are following through with their commitment to provide a wide range of powerful Windows Phone devices.

Windows Phone Marketplace Hurdles Over the 40,000 Application Mark

All About Windows Phone (AAWP) recently reported that the Windows Phone Marketplace had triumphantly surpassed the 40,000 application mark. IdentityMine is extremely happy to hear the news and is glad to have contributed several applications to the Windows Phone Marketplace (and there is more where that came from). AAWP has a tracking system that found that Windows Phone “content is being added at the rate of 165 items per day. In the last 30 days, 85% of submissions were apps and 15% were games; 68% were free, 23% were paid and 9% were paid with free trial.”  The Windows Phone platform seems to be a hit with application developers, and with the recent release of Nokia’s Lumia devices we can expect the Windows Phone platform to be an even bigger hit with consumers. Just look at one of our previous posts about Microsoft’s marketing efforts in New York.

Take a look at the graph below to get an idea of the Windows Phone Marketplace growth rate. Pretty astonishing!

Windows Phone NYC Mash-Up Video

Uploaded today by the WindowsPhone Channel on Youtube was a video mash-up of the Microsoft’s marketing efforts for the Windows Phone in New York. They decided to create an actual six-story tall Windows Phone with working Live Tiles. People crowded the streets of Manhattan to watch “fruit-slashing ninja-action, a surprise gig by party-rockers Far East Movement, a killer live set from DJ Virman, and a native New Yorker proposing to his girlfriend from inside the giant phone.” If their plan was to raise awareness of the Windows Phone, they certainly got their point across. With a strong partnership with Nokia and two new Windows Phones hitting stores in time for the holidays, I’ll bet more people will consider the Windows Phone when they decide to upgrade. Microsoft is finally in the full swing of things when it comes to the Windows Phone, and with the Mango release it finally feels like a finished product. I know I’m convinced!
