4.2. Internet Explorer 10 Block malicious websites in real time 4x
faster JavaScript performance compared to WP7.5. 2x HTML5 feature
support compared to WP7.5. IE 10 Differences between WP8 and
Windows 8 WP8: Windows8: Elements demand a truly big screen or a
windowed interface wont fly, nowhere to drag and drop or open a new
window to. Catch web developers off- guard: Lack of in-line video
Handful of touch inputs ActiveX Level of file access. Website
authors can write once, test on their PCs and the same will work on
WP. 8. 8 4.3. Native Code Common platform for WP and Windows Native
Game Development platform based on DirectX. Game developers can
write the same game for both. Portability: Android & iOS WP8 ,
will be easier with Native Code. 9. 9 4.4. NFC Feature Benefit for
both the end user and developer. NFC support is not limited to
phone. The shared Windows core enables NFC scenarios between
phones, laptops, PCs. Secure Element (SE) is in SIM. Since SE is in
SIM, Microsoft has been establishing new partnerships with
operators. First telecom operator partner in Europe is Orange, we
will see who will be the partner in Turkey. Since these device
partners will support WP8, we expect to have NFC feature support on
these devices as well. 10. 10 4.5. Wallet Experience The most
complete Wallet Experience on any Smartphone. Third party services
will be able to integrate to Windows Wallet. One place to go to See
balances Fly info Pull coupon to save Supports Secure NFC Different
than Google Wallet since the SE is on phone device. Will work with
ISIS next year. 11. 11 4.6. Nokia Map Technology Great Global
NAVTEQ map data Offline map support Map control for developers Turn
by turn Directions Much better detail and complete local info in
maps across the globe by NAVTEQ map data. Works offline! Perfect
for when travelling to poor internet connectivity locations! Get
the directions and store on the SD card. 12. 12 4.7. WP8 for
Business Trusted shared Windows core Encryption and Secure Boot LOB
App Deployment Device Management Familiar Office Apps Safety of
corporate data will be provided by BitLocker Technology which
encryptes the contents of the device. WP8 will allow IT
administrators to sign and deploy apps in their own way. Device
management and familiar office apps will be one of the reasons for
WP to be favorite. 13. 13 4.8. New Start Screen Not a platform
feature but an end user feautre which will have the platform
implications. The user is in total control of the Live Tiles: More
Beautiful, More Customizable, More Personal. User is able to set
the size of any tile, can pin any tile to StartScreen and offer
more colors too! 14. 14 5. Backward Compatibility No WP7 Upgrade
for WP7 Owners: A consumer who just bought a new WP7 phone will not
be able to upgrade to WP8. App Fragmentation: Apps written in the
native WP8 code will not be backward compatible with WP 7/7.5. So
the best and most recent apps will not work on older devices.
However, all apps written for WP7.5 will work on WP8. WP7 WP7.5WP8
15. 15 6. Metro Apps now just Apps Metro apps are
touch-screen-friendly apps written especially for Microsoft's WinRT
programming interfaces. Metro apps, which are sold in an online
store much like the Apple app and Android Google Play stores, are
expected to sell for $1.49 and up. Most of the Enterprise
applications will be replaced by Metro Style based applications and
the more Microsofts in-house applications based on Metro, the
better, stable, bug fixed and full of features it would be. Metro
Apps are no longer called with "Metro", just Apps; but features are
kept the same. 16. 16 7. WP7 and WP8 Device Requirements 17. 17 8.
Differences between WP 7.5 and 8 Click here for DEMO. Improved
multitasking on WP 8, Improved application loading speed, Apps
developed on WP7.5 should be compatible with WP8. Form Factor
changes such as Touch Resolution, Smaller Screens should be
considered. Even though users will have access to all previously
developed apps, Microsoft is hoping that developers would take
advantage of WP8 features. Such as new Skype app for WP8 will let
users answer ring-throughs as they would a cellular call. NFC and
Wallet features are also new to WP. Wallet app is very similar to
Apples Passbook feature. 18. 18 9. WP8 Wallet Hub vs iOS 6 Passbook
Passbook WP Wallet Hub Lets you load: Boarding passes, Loyalty
Cards, Movie Tickets and more into a single place. Scan a barcode
for services Scanning Methods Scan a Code or Tap Device for

Movie Tickets and many more, ++++++++ Credit and Debit cards into a
single place. Integrates deals from vendors and works across
applications for mapping and other more extensive functions such as
tying bank apps to the Wallet hub. More local cards such as Library
Card will also be able to be added to Wallet Hub. Integrates deals

wave and pay system has been a talk. Either way, every commonly
used technology should be supported for customer convenience. 19.
