Microsoft Plans To Keep Your iPhone Always Internet Connected

This is Microsoft bold plan to keep your iPhone always connected to the Internet

While Google and Facebook are looking at ways of bringing online more users, especially in developing markets, Microsoft has a bold Internet-related plan of its own, which involves keeping you connected at all times, even when you’re traveling.

The company is working on a Microsoft WiFi product that will offer users access to more than 10 million wireless hotspots in 130 countries. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft WiFi will work on various platforms, not just Windows 10 or Windows Phone. The service will be compatible with iPhone, Android, Mac, and anything else that can connect to the Internet, as long as the customer is eligible.

Microsoft isn’t ready to spill all details on the service, but it did confirm it’s working on this particular product. “We can confirm that we are working on a new service, called Microsoft WiFi, that will bring hassle-free Wi-Fi to millions,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat, after the blog found details about the product on microsoftwifi.com. “We look forward to sharing additional detail when available.”

“Don’t waste time filling forms with personal information or managing different carriers to get connected. Sign in once and you are done: you will automatically be connected to a vast range of Wi-Fi providers around the world,” Microsoft’s website said, before being removed.

The service seems to be similar to Microsoft’s Skype WiFi, a tool that offers paying Skype customers access to two million Wi-Fi hotspots around the world.

However, Microsoft WiFi will have different strings attached. To get free access to it, users would still have to pay for it by purchasing a certain Microsoft product, at least initially.

Skype WiFi subscribers, employees or organizations that have an active Microsoft Office 365 for Enterprise subscription and customers who have a special Wi-Fi offer from Microsoft will be eligible for Microsoft WiFi at first

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based $149 laptop. They’re no MacBook killers and don’t expect them to play GTA V, though (when it finally makes a PC appearance that is). According to tech rumour site www.Digitimes.com , these laptops are geared primarily towards emerging markets, education and the super-low end market, which includes users whose tasks are limited to web browsing, word processing and social media use. The Chromebook has gained traction in quite a few areas and Micros...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
