I think Microsoft is still pursuing the (brilliant) “PC in your pocket idea” as the way forward, this would mean that you have PC the size of a mobile phone. Microsoft are maybe “out of the mobile phone arena” but they are not “out of the mobile computing arena”. “Windows phone” is NOT dead, it now uses Android as a host □ Outlook mail works great as does “One Drive”, which I mainly use for backing up my photos and the occasional document that I want to access on the move. IMO “Microsoft Launcher” on Android is a winner. Microsoft launcher is getting better and better and the integration between your Desktop PC and Mobile phone is getting better. I can also see the last 25 photos on my phone from my desktop PC. When I use “Edge” on my mobile, I can send the “page” to my desktop and it opens automatically in Edge on my desktop and that is brilliant. I can view and send messages using my desktop and I can even make calls using my desktop, all routed via my mobile phone. My phone is linked to my Windows (10) desktop and I get notifications on my phone sent to my desktop. The subsequent updates have made my Android phone more of a “Windows Phone” and I just love it. I then installed the “Microsoft Launcher” app and found that I now had a “ Windows Phone“, running on Android. So I got my shiny new Android phone (Wileyfox Swift 2X) and then disabled everything I could with regards to Google! I knew that Microsoft were having a “love affair” with Linux and discovered “Microsoft Launcher” for Android that was a game changer! I looked at iPhones and Android phones for a replacement and decided Android was, for me, the way to go. Microsoft might be out of the “mobile phone” arena but they are still in the “mobile computer” arena and are making, IMO, some good moves!Ī couple of years ago I decided to give up on “Windows Phones”, in the same way that Microsoft had done. If you miss having a “Windows Phone”, Microsoft Launcher for Android is your salvation □ Where are my documents and photos stored?.Remote Home monitoring using an IP Camera.
