[A Newbies Guide to Windows 8 Phone] [By: Minute Help Guides] [January, 2013]

by Minute Help Guides

If you’ve been paying attention to the mobile phone world lately, there are two names that will likely jump to the front of your Apple and Android. While these two companies get the lion’s share of the publicity (and a proportionately large number of device sales), both of them were actually very late to the party. Microsoft, it turns out, practically invented the smart phone. Back in the pre-iPhone days, Windows was arguably the biggest player in the nascent PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) market – helping the savviest and most forward-thinking businessmen get their work done digitally. By contrast, Apple was still trying to peddle the universally maligned Newton Message Pad. Whether you’ve been a loyal Windows Phone user for years or you’re just now growing tired of the same-old-same-old world of iOS or Android, this guide will help to make sure that you have all of the tools you need to make Windows Phone 8 your new favorite. We’ll take you through Live Tiles, SkyDrive, Multitasking, Kids Corner, and a lot more – everything you’ll need to make the most of your Lumia 920, HTC 8X, Samsung ATIV S, or any other Windows Phone 8 Device on the market. Ready to get started? Let’s go!
