If you have been following Microsoft recently, you may have heard of recent news about the disclosure of Windows Phone 8 features. It is said that Joe Belfiore, senior vice president of Windows Phone, Microsoft revealed a Windows Phone 8 feature demo video to Pocketnow. In the video, the latest features of Windows Phone 8 are now in the hands of Microsoft's partner Nokia. Joe Belfiore revealed a lot of Windows Phone 8 information and its latest features in the video, and it is said that this is just the tip of the iceberg for the upcoming Windows Phone 8. Since LiveSide often pays attention to Microsoft's Windows Live, when we see the Windows Phone function disclosure, the sharing and synchronization of data between them has aroused our interest, so here we will discuss SkyDrive and Windows Live Mesh. The future form of function.
Before we get started, let's make clear what the terms "synchronize" and "share" are used in this article:
Synchronization refers to the use of cloud services like SkyDrive and Xbox LIVE Data synchronization between different devices
Sharing refers to direct data transfer between two or more devices by using wireless networks like NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi .
synchronize data between different devices:
According to the latest news Windows Phone 8 seems to indicate that Windows Phone 8 will support cross-platform data between PC, mobile phones and Xbox synchronization, the following is from the Pocketnow A summary of the content:
& ldquo; Microsoft also promises to perfectly synchronize Skydrive data on a variety of devices. Belfiore also gives an instant example of this feature, where people can collect music on newly purchased Windows Phone phones without having to sync from the PC to the phone. & rdquo;
Here is Paul Thurrott's confirmation of this:
“ Some common cloud services will be available on mobile phones (Windows Phone 8), PC (Windows 8
) and TV (Xbox vNext) ) Cross-platform use. These include synced content such as photos, music, movies, and games in Xbox Live, entertainment and more. In the future, Microsoft will let users control all available resources on all three platforms by using SkyDrive.
Currently, Windows Phone 7.5 already supports syncing users' contacts and calendars between mobile phones and Windows Live. Email, photos, and Office documents, then access the data on your PC and sync to your PC (especially Windows for Windows 8). Unfortunately, music is not currently supported. Other types of documents such as videos and movies. (We won't discuss Zune here. Because Zune has not allowed users to sync personal collections between PCs and phones). In summary, it seems that by using SkyDrive, Microsoft will be able to support cross-platform synchronization of all content (including music, movies, and even game archives stored in the cloud) between mobile phones, PCs and Xbox. Will Microsoft be implementing the original idea of Live Mesh? Do not share data between
set:
Although data between different devices through the cloud synchronization service appears to be the future development trend of high-tech industries, but sometimes the data directly between two devices Wireless transmission is also more convenient and easy to use. We can imagine the scenario. When you have two devices (referred to as Windows 8 tablets and Windows Phone phones) that are next to each other, why do you want to transfer data to other devices through the cloud service from start to finish? Microsoft seems to have considered this situation. According to Pocketnow, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 will support contactless wireless sharing (ie wireless data transmission such as NFC):
In addition, according to reports, this non-touch Sharing will run through all of the shared content on platforms such as desktops, laptops, tablets and phones.
According to a widely circulated rumor that we have reported before, Microsoft will bring a feature called "Beaming" to its future devices. According to rumors, users can use a wireless data technology like Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi to transfer files directly between their phones, PCs/tablets and Xbox/TV. The latest information also shows that this contactless sharing feature of Windows Phone 8 seems to be in line with the rumors.
If you pay close attention to Microsoft's current devices, you will find that Microsoft's data synchronization and sharing between different devices seems to be very confusing and there are various restrictions. Microsoft really does not have an easy way. Seamlessly synchronize and share data between different devices (at least so far). If the recently reported Windows Phone and Windows 8 are really implemented, then Microsoft should be “reproduce the idea” of how users can synchronize and share data between different devices. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices that are expected to be available at the end of this year really add these two features.
