list of Windows Phone 8.1 features



  • The Search button will be the new way to open Speech instead of the Start button
  • New Email sync options with accordance to usage patterns (i.e. If you get a lot of mail on particular days and if you don’t check mail every day).
  • Change the size and amount of tiles on your start screen.
  • Wallet supports tickets and membership cards
  • App Syncing
  • Backups now include application data (ABOUT TIME)
  • Screen Reader functionality (Maybe Text-To-Speech for apps?)
  • Screen Recording functionality
  • Inner Circle of contacts. Up to 40 contacts can be in the inner circle.
  • You can favorite photos by tapping a heart icon
  • Virtual SmartCard support
  • In-call speech commands. You’ll be able to say “Call XXXXXX”.
  • Double-Tap to unlock your phone (Feature from Lumia devices on Amber Update and newer)
  • Lock Notification (Feature from Lumia devices on Amber Update and newer I was thinking of Glance for some reason. This could also mean notifications of apps on the lock screen. We don’t know where these strings are being used in the UI, so this one is a speculation)
  • Quiet Hours (FINALLY)
  • Double Tap to Power Off
  • Notification if charger isn’t of adequate power
  • Screenshot button combination is now Power + Volume Up (Since the newer phones will have the start button on screen)
  • Social notifications will now show up in action center by swiping from the top of the screen
  • Operators can now control data sense limits remotely
  • Operators can also install certain applications once a SIM card is detected
  • Along with normal updates, there are now “important” updates.
  • Chkdsk for SD Cards essentially
  • Apps on SD Cards are only allowed from ONE originating phone. If it detects that apps from another phone are installed on the SD Card, then it will ask to delete those first
  • Voice Narrator for Accessibility
  • Sharing secure WI-Fi Networks with contacts if they have Wi-Fi Sense. They don’t get to see the shared password though
  • Options to always download emails and pictures within them
  • Encrypted and signed e-mail support
  • Change default SMS app. You can also change which SMS app will show notifications.
  • Enterprise enrolled phones can have their passwords changed and remotely locked
  • “Type as I swipe through letters”. This means we will be seeing Swype-like functionality.
  • Geofence monitoring support. Geofence is a boundary around a place of interest to you. Location services can monitor geofences to tell your apps when you’re entering and leaving them. This would be really good for IFTTT
  • Office Lens support. Will scan in documents and screens
  • The phone will have to update to the latest version before you can restore it to factory settings
  • Option to update store apps automatically
  • App Suggestions by location
  • Manual App Update checks
  • Video Calling Support? I don’t know if we will be given choices of which VOIP provider to use. Maybe Skype video calling will be built-in?
  • Option to update store apps when only on Wi-Fi
  • Password protected Office document support
  • Trusted app list for NFC that will remove the need for asking whether you want to open a particular app.

8 Facts About Super Mario 3 Mario Forever

8 Facts About Super Mario 3 Mario Forever Mario was one of less than a handful of video games that I actually played when I was a kid. Super Mario 3: Mario Forever’s earliest version was released in late 2008. As a franchise that’s been going strong since the ‘80s, there are literally hundreds of official and fan-made Mario games out there. Official ones would include Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Luigi’s Mansion, and Super Mario Galaxy. Fan-made games you will find on Softendo’s site include Super Mario Forever Galaxy, Super Peach Party 3, and Super Mario Bombastic. Although the original Super Mario Bros. game was the work of Nintendo and the franchise remains strong in their hands, Mario Forever is an independently-made fan game brought to you by Softendo Download Games. The game is ranked as the #1 platformer on CNET. Over 200 million units of games in the Mario series have been sold worldwide, making it by far the most

samsung galaxy s4 all rumors,release date and leaked price

samsung galaxy s4 all rumors,release date and leaked price The Galaxy S4 name: The Galaxy S4 name was even confirmed at a recent event (Invest in Photonics) in Bordeaux : So when Kit Lam, who is the Chief Innovation Officer at SERI [Samsung Electronics Research Institute], comes on stage to run through his presentation and lets slip the words “Galaxy S4” during the speech, it’s certainly worth taking note of; given that hitherto no one from Samsung had uttered anything about the follow-up to the S3. This is the first semi-official confirmation of the existence of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that has reached us. The name could well be a guess from Lam but given his position within SERI, it’s debatable. Samsung Galaxy S4 release date : Samsung confirming the Unpacked event will take place on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 7pm Eastern Standard Time. Samsung Galaxy S4 Full Specs Leaked Android 4.2 13 Megapixel camera 2GB of RAM 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor 5-i
