Windows Phone 8: Most personal phone ever

Microsoft has also been busy working to carve out its own corner of the mobile operating system market. But so far it’s been dwarfed both by Apple and Google’s Android Operating System. Now it wants to heat up the competition with the new Windows Phone 8, coming out this fall. It offered a first look at the software on Wednesday.

Microsoft unveiled what it calls the most personal phone ever the Windows Phone 8, which features a start screen with live tiles.

Joe Belfiore, Vice President of Microsoft Corporate, said, "I am pretty happy to introduce to you the new Windows Phone 8 start screen. Our users have told us they want it to be more customizable and personal, and we’ve listened."

The Windows Phone 8 supports three screen resolutions, has micro SD slots and comes loaded with a sophisticated secure payment system.

But the most important announcement for developers is that Windows Phone 8 will have a shared Windows core.

Software developers will be able to design apps and programs that can be more easily adapted to work across both Window’s phones and PC’s.

He said, "Again everyone benefits, the quality improves, the performance improves, the time to market improves. It’s efficient for the ecosystem and good for consumers, developers and hardware partners."
