Windows Phone 8 Overview

[Maq.H]

Senior vice president and Windows Phone manager Joe Belfiore hosted a video showing the brand new Detail concept of upcoming Windows Phone 8 (Code name Apollo, originally intended for Microsoft’s smartphone partners). Apollo will be released probably after the release of Windows Tango update. The Video is about the features and themes included in Windows phone 8.

As per the hardware, Microsoft is obviously taking it to the next level with the help of multiple cores, NFC, and full microSD card storage. Apollo (WP8) will also be compatible with 4 different screen resolutions, although vice president apparently wasn’t very forthcoming with specifics on those.

Its been also heard that Apollo will support NFC radios along with additional features like tap-to-share that will work across numerous platforms, including desktop, notebook, tablet Pcs, and smartphones to all share content.

There's a good news for Skype users as well. Windows Phone 8 will even bring new version of Skype (5.8) that allow users to make full HD video calls, Facebook integration and group screen sharing.
