Tweets via WindowsPhone now say "Via Microsoft". - Windows Phone 7 General

So if you tweet from the Me tile, it will say "Via Microsoft" at the bottom of your tweets.
I think this isn't good for Windows Phone because it was like advertising through twitter before.
I don't really like this change.. Does anyone?

doesn't really matter, via Microsoft, via Phone.

does anyone actually care/read via what method other people post twitter posts? I never bothered to read that line. I do not see how this is really advertising. I mean, do people go "Oh, three of the people i follow use windows phone, so should I"?

The best advertising is the kind that people are so used to seeing that they find it automatic. Much like the well-known "Sent from my iPhone" email signature line, such things spread brand awareness without blatantly being marketing. I'm really not sure why MS (or Twitter, or whoever it was) made this change...

and? what's the problem?

It's sad that most people (at least at my school) haven't even heard of the term "Windows Phone."

I don't understand why is this not good for Windows Phone?!
It never said via Windows Phone.
It always said via Live.
This is part of losing the Live branding and they are doing it pretty quick. This only means that they are getting ready for the launch of something that will replace Live Services i.e. more new about Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. It is all good

It originally said "via WindowsLive" unless you were using the app, because the backend for Twitter on Windows Phone is the same one used for all other Windows Live services.

That's so ugly, please change to "Via Windows phone"...

Remember when Nicky Minaj promoted the Lumina 900 in times square and posted about it on twitter and it said "via blackberry" or something. If people didn't complain about that we wouldn't have this change.

Windows Phone Series 7

Just noticed this site came up, after waiting for info for a while.
It feels disappointing
windowsphone7series dot com
How disappointing ?
As disappointing as WM6.5 ?
As disappointing as Win7 ? Vista ? Zune ?
It can't be as disappointing as ME !
Perhaps there's a pattern emerging here, much the same as the Microsoft stock price over the last 10 years (-45%)
What's the bets Ballmer will be out of a job by 2011 ?
I personally don't like the new face that its been given...until I try it for my own though I will not judge hastily, because it looks like there could be potential.
touch pro2 cannot run the wp7 series as it is low end device and doesnot meet the requirements so all of you will not be able to try it without changing your phones
Ah, how refreshing, more Microsoft bloat without managing to move forwards or impress anyone
Here's a good example :

How do they do it ?

yet microsoft is not the only company being pointed out for bloatware as you can see.
I think simple and intuitive is much better than what winmo7 looks like, but once again I won't solidify opinion until I am testing it out on a device.

I never said microsoft wasn't a major contributor either, I was just stating that the information you gave was only half of it (unless they of course read the article). So yes microsoft adds bloatware, but so do many others.
*edit*
I see we are on the same page, very unique as I believe this is a first.
What about Blu-Tack ?
There's no bloat in Blu-Tack !

Now that WP7S is announced, I'm sure someone will make a WP7S UI for Win 6.X just like the iPhone UI back in 07. So, developers get coding.

Just so you know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a homosexual. That being said, did you notice that the article said Linux users are violent pedophiles? Now that's bad!
Signed,
A heterosexual Linux user.
Ehm...so I'm gay because I use a Mac? Damn man.
A few quick facts acquired from that article.
Linux users: Intelligent yet violent paedophiles.
Windows Users: Typical somewhat intelligent in-between people.
Mac Users: Homosexual artists of inferior intelligence but well adjusted socially.

Lol.
I dual boot between Linux and Windows.
Do you think I can go with the higher intelligence but without the paedophilia.
Sorry couldn't resist.
On a more serious note, what would I be? I manage a linux server, and use linux a few times a day depending on my mood. I use Mac mainly for coding/day to day stuff and Windows when I want to do gaming(Pretty much daily).

No. It's the other way around. You use a Mac because you're gay.
Link? Got to paste it to some friends (iphone fans)
Luckily, correlated facts mustn't be causally connected. Anyway: Nice findings

I have a Desire and iPhone. I guess i'm bisexual :/
This thread is useless btw.
Haha! This has to be one of the funniest threads in a while.
A mate has been showing off his new iPhone 4 in an attempt to shame my Desire, can't wait to show him this, I'll tell him he's gay and if he disagrees with me I'm likely to get violent. Lol!

You know what's effective when telling off an iPhone user if he's trying to impress you? Just smile and nod. When he's done, just say "Hey, there's this song on my phone which is pretty good. Let me send it to you."
Sit back and enjoy as he tries to figure out how he can receive your file. Then smirk and chuckle when he finally realizes the supposedly best smartphone in the world can handle that simple of a task.
No need to call into question someone's sexual orientation to get back at Apple fanboys...
Lol another flaming thread. They are phone people have opinions no one is better than the other.
Apple is and has allways been fail. Now it's proven to be fail, gay and stupid. Hooray!
And Linux basicly kicks ass (when it's not chasing down young ass I guess)
Great research imho.

Microsoft confirms Tango and Apollo as future updates for Windows Phone 7

While we are waiting for the arrival of Windows Phone Mango, A confirmation comes from Microsoft of the next update for Windows Phone 7 and objectives that will guide the development of Windows Phone.
The news is based on what was said by the speakers at the Microsoft MSDN seminar held in Hong Kong.
According to reports that I heard, it would seem that Tango will not be a major update, but a simple optimization of the mobile medium / low.Tango should also bring substantial improvements in Bing services.
The next major update will then be Apollo, but there is no news yet about it, but certainly the news will be similar to Mango.

I wait for the day that you and these other goonies stop trolling this section. A post that is informative about Windows Phone has to be turned into some crap fest by you... It's like it excites you to be such a douche.

I think you were addressing me as well?
Look man, I always like reading your posts. You're very calm and collected and usually bring great insights.
I'm a huge wp7 fan. I couldn't love it more. However look at the issues with the NoDo update. I can't seriously believe that anyone thinks Mango will be out before Q2 2012. And it doesn't matter when they push to carriers. What matters is on my device.
I'm also getting frustrated at the lack of funcitionality. I have no money invested in this platform. I don't care if it'll come with Apollo. Why can't I watch AVI's now? Or why will this mobile hotspot be carrier-specific (which means us Canadians won't get it). And why is Bing stripped down for Canada? And Zune?
I use hotmail, xbox, and windows 7 at home. WP7 fits my "ecosystem" perfectly. It's just getting more and more frustrating. And seeing some post about updates makes me roll my eyes. Let's see how Mango gets handled first before we jump ahead to all these other ones.
I'm not trolling. This is me using this forum as an outlet.

I asked @joebelfiore about the video out feature on wp7

In MIX10 we all noticed that Joe Belfiore can directly output the display of his Samsung WP7 Developer prototype phone onto the big screen.
You may search for the video demo "Joe Belfiore Demos Windows Phone 7" in Google.
I searched on internet and received not many info on this. So I directly asked him on twitter @joebelfiore and he replied me in message.

This img is from my thread I posted just now on Chinese forum...I am a Chinese...
If anyone like me want to give presentations just as Joe did with his WP7 phone, I think the hope is not shinny~May rather buy a Nokia N8 or even Nokia 5800.
Some android devices like HTC Incredible and Samsung Galaxy S support tv out,too.
Just a bit disappointed~I used to hope to introduce WP7 devices to the company I serve as work phones. But it doesn't support VPN, and has no tv out, not to mention the NFC. You can't even copy the office file directly to your Phone without unlocking it. Maybe to choose android the other day, although it's Siemens here...
P.S If this post is supposed to cause any trouble because I mentioned the direct message from Mr. Joe Belfiore or the name of Siemens, just let me know and I will delete this right away. No means to make trouble.
----Edit----
Just like PG2G said on the 4th floor, firstly I am happy to see Joe answered my question directly without hiding something because people in his position usually don't do that. I am still a fan of Windows Phone 7 cuz I really don't want to show a game machine desktop (android and iOS) on the projector of a serious meeting room.
EDIT: nevermind
Lol... I'm sure another social network will make the cut, though.

While you didn't get the answer you'd ask for, it is pretty cool that someone in his position is actually listening to and answering people's questions.

Yeah, that's also what I think. People in his position hardly give feedback to normal people like you and me. So it's really nice of him to do so.
And that's why I still haven't give up the WP7 system, since I think letting all people in the meeting room to see my android desktop which looks like a game machine is not really a cool stuff~~~

Don't wanna say much but watch this guy!

I don't wanna comment but you can after watching this:

Well, I can't take a quy serious who calls it Windows Mobile 8 and this vid is also quite heavily biased. And you will also quickly notice his main interest: good hardware specs.
I couldn't even get past the the first 40 seconds.

Thanks for the lulz xD
What a moron, he obviously has no idea what he's talking about.
Android fanboy.
This guy is a complete idiot! Waste of my time especially with the Windows Mobile reference and the Gmail app piece. And he says Windows Mobile never compared to Android. It's because Android wasn't around when it came out. And they minimized Windows onto a phone in like 2000...Windows Mobile:laugh:
I managed to get a good 3min out of that before his voice and general lack of any intelligence what so ever got the better of me, forcing me to try stab my screen with a pitch folk when ever he opened his month.
I am amazed that such inbreeding still goes on in western countries, which surely must be the only reason for such a mentally challenged presenter.
Ill happily list anyone valid pros and cons of any device and remain completely objective whilst doing it AND putting aside that WP suites my needs best, why cant people who put them selves in that position at least attempt to be impartial?!
unless of course that was his sole aim!
To get all clear thinking people flapping about him being a complete nob.
In which case my friend, you have exceled yourself

and about 5 min later he cry's about 10 min long how bad verison is that he can't get ics on his phones
F*****ing nope if you ask me , they actually sould ban him from the internet and take away all phones he has , give him a brick to use for calling
Getting him an Aligator would be enough

This guy is clearly tripping on something. I found this video hilarious.
I watched about 40 seconds, wrote a vile reply that most likely will be erased and left. It hurt to watch that bull****.
He needs a Kleenex.
With everyone trying to sit through it, I decided to as well. Horrible presenter - not much in the way of facts or information, he just 'feels bad' about Win8. All I could think throughout the time I could stand was CAGE MATCH!!! Let's see how this fanboi stands up to a WP fanboi... err, whatever we call General the Destroyer [FONT=&quot]http://www.youtube.com/user/generalthedestroyer
