The rumors were right. New screen resolutions are a'coming.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Why, it seemed like just yesterday Microsoft told us at CES that dual-core devices weren't that important. Instead, "user experience" trumped fast processors.
by Lynn La
There's WVGA of course, also HD resolutions for WXGA and 720p HD.
by Jessica Dolcourt
So that's 1,280 x 720 and 1,280 x 768.

"If you're a developer, your app is going to run and look terrific."
by Lynn La
There are three aspect ratios, too. 15:9 and 16:9 (720p)

Removable microSD card is a go!
by Jessica Dolcourt
So you'll be able to use it as a transfer device and to side-load apps. Plus, you can get storage space out the wazoo.
by Jessica Dolcourt
The microSD card news is great, but I'm quite fond of the Lumia 900's unibody design (as inconvenient as it is).
by Lynn La
This is a really big break from Microsoft's original ethos to keep the phone locked down.
by Jessica Dolcourt
"We think we have that nailed in Windows Phone," Belfiore says.
by Jessica Dolcourt
This will help everyone, since phones can come in at lower costs if they have smaller internal memory that can be boosted with a card.

Internet Explorer 10 will be built into Windows Phone 8
by Lynn La
Core JavaScript technology will be the same rendering.
by Lynn La
HTML authors can code once and it'll work on the phone as well.
by Lynn La
So tablets, laptops, and phones will all share the same rendering code. Finally.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Mobile version will include today's IE's SmartScreen anti-phishing feature.

Sunspider scores shows WP8 is faster than the Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One S, and iPhone 4S (iOS 6 beta)

I have a feeling some insane benchmark shootouts will follow.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Announcement for Native Code developers gets claps all around
by Lynn La
Benchmark insanity: AKA 'Binsanity'
by charles.cooper
Games are a huge emphasis for Microsoft, especially after that Angry Birds snafu of a few months back.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Common graphics drivers with WP8 and the PC will get easy porting.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Native game development platform will be based on DirectX
by Lynn La
"See some beefy powerful phones running some amazing games this year."
by Lynn La
Again, we're looking at a gaming boom on Microsoft. I hope that shows with the XBox Live feature.
by Jessica Dolcourt
XBox Live has been full of promise on Windows Phone, but hasn't really ever taken off like it should. Ditto with Kinect.
by Jessica Dolcourt
So usually this cues a gaming demo....but no.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Native Code support will make portability easy for developers. We'll see more apps, bigger and more important apps coming faster, and some beautiful games.
by Lynn La
Back to hardware, they're unveiling NFC support.
by Jessica Dolcourt
In Android phones, it's usually bundled into the batteries. So I wonder how they'll do it here.
by Jessica Dolcourt
Microsoft calls it Tap + Share, which is a more colorful way to explain NFC.
by Jessica Dolcourt
More apps and oh-sooo-cool games -- the guy is talking big.
