"By example, when I look up a contact in my address book in Windows Phone, it allows me to look up my history with that person. Emails, texts, IMs, tweets, everything- all in one place, because who thinks "Dave tweeted that at me" over "Dave sent that to me"? By contrast, iOS keeps every interaction siloed in-app."
that's a very good point. And that sounds like a FANTASTIC feature I'd love to have on my phone. your right, if the windows phone is more "people centric", as opposed to "app centric" And now that you mention it, I'd love to try out the windows phone, because it really sounds like they have it together. I think Android could go this way too, there's a lot they can do. But as fass as buggieness, and overall satisfaction, I've had a rather disappointing time with android (only smartphone I've owed.)
- HorizonXP 15y agoAnd it's funny how BlackBerry has been doing this for several years now, but people seemed to have just glossed over it. RIM has had NUMEROUS missteps over the last few years, but they do have some good ideas in there. Let's hope they shine this week with BB10. Oh, and let me get the obligatory, "BlackBerry? They still exist?" out of the way.
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoHmm, you bring up some good points. Blackberries did have a lot of crazy good things about them. And I might even consider looking at a BB or WP for my next phone (just to be different, a bit of a hipster decision I suppose, but I'm disappointed with android, and I don't know if I want to support Apples frivolous patent trolling.)
- bergie 15y agoWell, Microsoft is quite active in the patents game too. http://mashable.com/2012/04/25/microsoft-pegatron-patent-deal/ http://mashable.com/2012/04/25/microsoft-pegatron-patent-dea...
- pedalpete 15y agoIt isn't just limited to being 'people centric'. It's more content(? there may be a better word) centric. When you're looking at a photo, do you want to share it? go to one of your photo apps? adjust it? e-mail it to somebody? I was really surprised when I got my iPad that I couldn't open a photo and just upload it to facebook or send it to somebody in an e-mail. I had to go find an app to do that.
