Windows Blue hits Milestone 1 as screenshot leakes online

New reports claimed that Windows Blue just recently hit milestone 1, which is believed to be half way through the OS's development cycle. Milestone 2 will be the final build before Windows Blue RTM's, which is expected to happen in August of 2013.

It also appears to be true that Windows Blue will run version 6.3 of the NT Kernel, and not 6.2 as some originally believed. This is because 6.3 will tell applications what version of Windows it's running, 6.1 is Windows 7, 6.2 is Windows 8 and 6.3 is Windows Blue.

From this latest kernel bump, it certainly looks as though Microsoft will be delivering some significant changes. The screenshots themselves do not reveal what kinds of changes we could be seeing, but TheVerge‘s report also suggests Windows Blue is designed for a new fleet of hardware types, including the increasingly popular 7 and 8-inch tablets.

Windows Blue is expected to make an appearance sometime later this year, and will begin to ease users into the annual update system.

Obviously, Microsoft refuse to talk about Windows Blue, which means most details are still scarce. Nobody knows what Blue will include as an update, or whether the update will be free.

HTC One unveiled; features 4.7-inch 1080p display, 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600, UltraPixel camera, Android 4.1.2 with Sense 5.

HTC’s new flagship phone sets new standards for the company, for both external and internal hardware. Unlike most of its previous phones, the new smartphone uses aluminum and glass as its main materials for its new unibody design. The HTC One features a 4.7-inch super LCD 3 display, capable of 1080p output and protected by the ultra-strong Gorilla Glass 2, a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor running at 1.7 GHz, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel “UltraPixel” camera, 2,300mAh battery and two generous storage options: 32 or 64GB. The new phone is powered with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The One also bears the distinction of being one of the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 600.

The new unibody construction manages to cram a 2,300mAh Li-polymer battery, 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n Wi-Fi radios, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. There are also speakers with built-in amps, as well as a beefed-up camera branded as HTC UltraPixel that is capable of gathering 300 percent more light than a standard smartphone camera, suggesting that HTC will market this device, at least partially, as a multimedia powerhouse.

The HTC One is powered with an IR blaster, integrated into the power button, allowing the smartphone to act as a remote for most TV’s and set-top boxes. In addition, HTC Sense TV, a new app built into the device, acts as an interactive program guide. To compliment the brand new hardware, the HTC One runs on top of HTC’s Sense user interface, which now sits at version 5 with tons of new refinements over previous releases.

The HTC one will be available beginning in March, from 185 mobile operators across 80 countries, including AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint in the United States.

Finally, Windows Blue looked to be confirmed by Microsoft as they post a new job opening on the Microsoft Careers Website.

According to the post, The Core Experience team in Windows Sustained Engineering (WinSE) is involved in making improvements to the start screen, application lifecycle, windowing and personalization. Windows Blue will "build on and improve" these OS components.

it stated :- "We’re looking for an excellent, experienced SDET to join the Core Experience team in Windows Sustained Engineering (WinSE). The Core Experience features are the centerpiece of the new Windows UI, representing most of what customers touch and see in the OS, including: the start screen; application lifecycle; windowing; and personalization. Windows Blue promises to build and improve upon these aspects of the OS, enhancing ease of use and the overall user experience on devices and PCs worldwide."

Blue is the codename for the next wave of Windows-related operating system and services updates from Microsoft. There will be a Blue update to Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows Phone 8 and the Windows Services like Hotmail and SkyDrive and more.

On the Windows and Windows Phone fronts, Blue is expected to include new features and even new programming interfaces designed to bring the different flavors of Windows closer together, from an app model/development model perspective.

Windows Blue appears to be a wide-spread update that Windows 8 and Windows Phone will receive, there is no exact date for the upgrade as of yet, but many are speculating something to be released in mid-2013.

Skype Video Messages for Mac, iPhone and Android

Microsoft Launched a new Video Messages feature for Skype. The company was reported working on some new features for some months now, having previously revealed it a little early, and it debuts on iOS, Android, and Mac. Designed for online and offline messaging, Video Messages lets Skype users send up to three minutes of video to each other.

The feature works on Android and iOS by using the font facing camera, with an option to switch to the rear. You can send up to three minutes of video to users who are either online or offline and the video will be delivered in the chat part of Skype just like how a normal conversation appears.

In response to windows and windows phone compactibility issues and availability; here is what a skype spokesperson said :- "We’re pleased that there’s interest for Video Messaging to come to Skype for Windows and Skype for Windows 8, We’ll let you know when we expand the service to the platform. We tested the feature out on all available platforms and it seems to sync the video messages just as you'd expect." He added -:“We will have send capability in Windows by end of April. In the meantime, we continue to test this new feature in its early release.”

US and UK Skype users get first crack at Video Messages, with users in other countries expected to get the feature soon afterwards. Skype Video Messages is rolling out as part of Skype Premium Services, and after 20 free messages you’ll have to subscribe to the service for $4.99 a month to have continued access to the feature.
