scenarios between phones, laptops, PCs.
Secure Element (SE) is in SIM.
Since SE is in SIM, Microsoft has been establishing new partnerships with operators.

Since these device partners will support WP8,
we expect to have NFC feature support on
these devices as well.

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.

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 Microsoft’s 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.

Click here for DEMO.
• Improved multitasking on WP 8,
• Improved application loading speed,
• Apps developed on WP7.5 should be compatible with WP8.

ring-throughs as they would a cellular call.
NFC and Wallet features are also new to WP.
Wallet app is very similar to Apple’s Passbook feature.
