Windows Phone 7 incapable of multitasking like iPhones

On 03.17.10, In Mobile, By Editor

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: It has been revealed that the new operating system of Windows Phone 7 will not support user-replaceable memory cards. However, Microsoft has also made it clear that it will work with phone makers to ensure that Windows Phone 7 handsets pack enough memory for applications, 3D games, and media storage. Phones may also have microSD cards embedded in them but they will be locked in place and inaccessible by end users.

Besides, it has also been revealed that Windows Phone 7 won’t permit true multitasking like the iPhone and third-party applications won’t be able to run in the background, and those using VoIP will be limited.

According to Charlie Kindel, who is in charge of Microsoft’s Windows Phone developer strategy, Apps that run arbitrarily in the background create an end user experience where battery life and responsiveness of the system becomes inconsistent and the company is focused on getting a set of experiences right where it didn’t have to support multitasking.

On 09.23.09, In Mobile, By Editor

South Korea’s telecommunications regulator has given the green flag to apple to launch the iPhone in Korea.

The Korea Communications Commission made an exception to a rule that requires cellphones sold in the country to use domestic technology for location-based services. The commission’s action comes after months of consumer pressure.

This move is likely to create a stir among the dominant domestic manufacturers – Samsung and LG.

This development comes a month after Apple managed to clear its entry in China too. China Unicom, Apple’s partner in China will start selling the iPhone in the fourth quarter.

Lauren Kim, a spokesperson for SK Telecom Co. and Yeom Woo-jong, a spokesperson for KT Corp both admitted to being in discussion with Apple.
