A Look at Microsoft`s Mobile Operating System - Features of Windows Mobile
(Page 2 of 4 )
Windows Mobile comes equipped with versions of the same software and features you’ve grown accustomed to with standard, computer-based versions of Windows. You’ll use Internet Explorer as your mobile Web browser, enjoy a mobile version of Outlook to help you manage emails and even a version of Windows Office to help you work while on the go. These mobile versions are made to look and work like the more standard Windows software you’ve probably used in the past.
The operating system strives to offer many different call functions, because what is a smartphone if not a cell phone with extra features and capabilities? Windows Mobile gives you a click-to-call option that lets you click a number to quickly place a call right from your home screen. You can click to call phone numbers that are included in emails and text messages as well.
Windows Mobile offers a “wizard” to help you set up email accounts, linking home computer accounts with your mobile device. You’ll be able to access email accounts through major carriers (including Hotmail, Yahoo! and AOL), enjoying all the features and options you have from your computer.
Windows MediaPlayer also comes with this mobile OS, supporting different media formats including MP3, WMA and MPEG-4. This allows you to view videos and listen to music from your mobile device. The program is also designed to make transfer between phone and laptop (or vice versa) very simple.
You’ll also have access to a wide variety of popular games through Windows Mobile, using Windows Mobile Total Access to download new applications as you desire. Popular games which are available right now include titles like Guitar Hero, Bejeweled and Monopoly. Through Windows Total Access you can seek new software, ringtones, extras and applications for your phone at any time.
