Microsoft finally admits Windows Phone is dead
by Tom Warren@tomwarren  Oct 9, 2017, 2:45am EDT



In a series of tweets, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore has revealed that the software giant is no longer developing new features or hardware for Windows 10 Mobile. While Windows Phone fans had hoped Microsoft would update the platform with new features, it’s now clear the operating system has been placed into servicing mode, with just bug fixes and security updates for existing users.

“Of course we'll continue to support the platform.. bug fixes, security updates,” says Belfiore. “But building new features/hw aren't the focus.” During the recent Windows 10 Fall Creators Update development phase, it has been obvious Microsoft is no longer working on the mobile experience. The software maker branched its development process into “feature2,” leaving Windows Phone fans disappointed.

Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform has been dead for more than a year, but the company has never officially admitted it before. Microsoft gutted its phone business last year, resulting in thousands of job cuts. During Microsoft’s recent Build and Inspire conferences, CEO Satya Nadella dropped the company’s mantra of “mobile-first, cloud-first” in favor of a focus on what he describes as the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge. This new area of focus means Microsoft is now working on multi-device scenarios and cloud-powered technologies that don’t always involve Windows.

Belfiore also admits he switched to Android, just like Bill Gates, and that Microsoft will support Windows 10 customers who want to use Android and iOS on their phones. One of the big reasons Microsoft is giving up on Windows Phone is because developers never backed the platform. Microsoft had many problems with its Windows Phone app store, and the inability to retain apps once they were developed. “We have tried very hard to incent app devs,” explains Belfiore. “Paid money.. wrote apps 4 them.. but volume of users is too low for most companies to invest.”



It’s now clear Microsoft has faced the reality that people don't need Windows on their phones. The software maker has been focused on iOS and Android apps and experiences over the past couple of years. Microsoft’s Edge browser is making its way to iOS and Android, and the company seems to be focused on improving the experience of linking a phone to a PC and resuming apps and documents between the two.

A new Microsoft Launcher for Android even goes a step further in improving the overall Android experience, with clever customizations and PC sharing features. Expect to see a lot more of this in the future. It’s now unlikely we’ll ever see a Surface-branded phone or more Windows 10 Mobile-powered hardware. Microsoft’s investments in iOS and Android will only benefit Windows 10 customers, and it could make up for the company’s messy efforts in mobile over the years.

Kalau berdasarkan market share sekarang yg kurang dari 1%, memang mustahil utk maintain platform ini. Tiada siapa mahu develop app untuk windows phone dan pengguna sudah hilang interest.Sebenarnya decision untuk beli Nokia dibuat oleh CEO terdahulu,iaitu Steve Ballmer. Dari awal-awal dulu lagi Satya ni tak setuju.Bila dia jadi CEO terus dia jual Nokia dan buang staff.Strategi baru adalah dengan provide app dan service untuk platform android dan ios.Kalau kita tengok dalam google play store and apple app store sudah banyak application yg developed oleh Microsoft.Ini adalah satu cara untuk memancing pengguna yang selama ini tidak menggunakan platform microsoft utk mencuba service mereka.

budaktua

aku pakai lumia 930... sedih juga...

HP sudah discontinue high-end Windows Phone, HP Elite x3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HP put another nail in the coffin for Microsoft’s Windows phones

Matt Weinberger, Business Insider US

It’s no secret that Microsoft has been trying to distance itself from its failing smartphone business. Last quarter, the nicest thing Microsoft could say about Windows phones was that winding down the business made the company eligible for a big tax break.

Now here comes another nail in the coffin, as the Register reports that HP is discontinuing its Elite x3 phone – the last high-end phone on the market running the Windows 10 Mobile operating system.

“Microsoft, as all companies do, decided on a change in strategy and so they are less focused on what they thought they would be focused on today,” an HP exec told the Register.

The Elite x3, first released in February 2016, had a nifty concept: The phone could dock with a PC monitor or a laptop shell, with the interface changing accordingly depending on how you were using it. It slotted right in with Microsoft’s vision for “Continuum,” a Windows 10 Mobile feature that lets you plug a phone into a monitor and use it like a PC.

It was supposed to be the first in a line of Elite-branded gadgetry from HP, focusing on “road warriors” who didn’t necessarily want to carry around a bunch of gadgets. Instead, HP will discontinue support for the phone in 2019, even as many expect Microsoft to pull support for Windows 10 Mobile sooner rather than later.

Microsoft itself hasn’t released a Windows 10 Mobile phone since late 2015’s Lumia 950. And while rumors persist that Microsoft is working on a so-called “Surface Phone,” giving the company one last shot at challenging the iPhone and Android smartphone duopoly, we’re almost certain not to see it before 2018 at the earliest.

In his recent book, “Hit Refresh,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hints that the company won’t get back into the smartphone game until the company has something else to offer. Until and if that “something else” materializes, Microsoft is officially out of the game. Meanwhile, Samsung is picking up the torch of Continuum with a dock that lets you use a Galaxy phone like a computer.

Here’s HP’s full comment, via a spokesperson:

Many customers are finding value in HP’s 3-in-1 device, the HP Elite x3. It enables mobile workers, including first responders, field services, and others to have a smartphone that can provide a tablet and PC-like experience – the one device for them. We will continue to fully support HP Elite x3 customers and partners through 2019. We will continue to evaluate our plans with Windows Mobile as Microsoft shares additional roadmap details. Sales of the HP Elite x3 continue and will be limited to inventories in country. HP remains committed to investing in mobility solutions and have some exciting offerings coming in 2018.
