Some Early Weakness Windows 7 Phone

As a new platform, Windows 7 Phone surely has some features that are less than the maximum. When tried, detikINET found some things lacking this OS that is the issue of copy paste, multitasking issues, as well as cameras.
Like the iPhone when first released, Windows 7 Phone also has problems to copy and paste feature. When typing a document via detikINET Office, the file can not be typing it in the copy-paste. Inability Copy Paste in applications that run on Windows 7 Phone this had on the mat delivered Microsoft MIX10 in Las Vegas, United States.

Copy-Paste Problem
In addition, similar to that done Apple on the iPhone, applications that run on Windows 7 Phone will be restricted within a limited scope (the sandbox). Microsoft will use an application store that enables third party developers filed their application to run on phones based on WP7.
Here are some weakness around the features of WP7 are quoted from WMExperts, Friday (26/11/2010):

    * Third-party applications running in a sandbox, unable to access the Copy, Cut and Paste could not multitasking.
    * Multitasking can be done by the default application, third-party applications can use the notification system.
    * Silverlight will run on WP7 but not in Internet Explorer in the WP7.
    * Distribution of third-party applications to go through the Marketplace, according to Microsoft's approval.

Multitasking Third Party Constraints
Well, initially WP7 about multitasking is a bit annoying. When detikINET try Twitter, Facebook or some other third party applications, live updates will be closed if the application is closed.
So for example we press the homescreen, up which we have not come back to the beginning. Things like this still happens in some applications in the Marketplace (store Windows applications).

Windows 7 Phone Camera Not Optimal
Microsoft has strict rules in terms of design, which requires all devices Windows 7 Phone has a good camera. One of the conditions, the camera must be at least 5 megapixels.
Unfortunately, the operating system (OS) software giant's latest mobile turns out to restrict camera access to a variety of applications. Thus, developers can not fully utilize the camera function.
As quoted from Cnet, on Friday (26/11/2010), although Windows 7 Phone device can record and upload videos and images, say developers can not use image sensors to do other fun things like video chat and augmented reality.
Maybe it's a bit true. When tested detikINET, users can not press the shutter button on the touch screen by the withdrawal of Android phones.
However, nothing is perfect in this world. The critics point out there are some important things that Microsoft's forgotten in this new mobile OS. Limitations on camera functions, copy-paste, and multitasking are just some things that come back to draw public attention to the presence of Windows Phone 7. I hope Microsoft fix it immediately.

Just like other products, while a song is played, the phone will automatically search for the artist's image to be used as background. For those who love to shop online music, come up to the Marketplace, downloaded songs will automatically stored in our Zune.
The latter is the closet game called Xbox Live. Xbox Live contains a collection of games that have been downloaded on our cell phones. The application also provides a pretty funny avatar gadgets, as well as Xbox Live Extras that allow us to interact with other Xbox users.
One important point to note in Xbox Live, Microsoft seems very serious in bringing this gaming platforms to their mobile phone. Evidently some games that simply demand is a paid version. Even most games in Xbox Live is not like the paid version of Android.
DetkINET chance to try out some games are quite popular such as: Need For Speed Undercover, futuristic RPG action game The Harvest, The Sims 3, Earthworm Jim HD, and Guitar Hero 5. All games that have graphics tegolong class 'heavy', and is a serious game (not a light game like Angry Bird) that make users feel at home for long in front of the HTC 7 Mozart.
