Windows 8, WP8 & NFC

NFC
With the dust settling following Nokia’s announcements last week, and analysis of the new phones’ screen performance, imaging capabilities and wireless charging flowing strong (not to mention the obligatory scandal in the form of a not-so-genuine PureView advertisement), one new feature for both the new Lumia line up and Windows Phone 8 has received relatively little coverage; Near Field Communications (NFC).
Most commonly associated with mobile payments, NFC has experienced a slow uptake so far, despite the convenience it promises. Concerns regarding mobile payments sensibly center around security, and while such concerns can be easily resolved, NFC offers so much more capability than mere payments that it’s surprising how slowly it is being introduced.

Nokia Lumia sales have exceeded expectations

Lumia 900
According to Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility Nokia’s Lumia 900 has exceeded expectations and its great to see that kind of praise coming from the CEO of AT&T Mobility. Speaking at the JP Morgan technology conference, he had the following statement to make about the Lumia 900.
I am really pleased with what I am seeing out of Microsoft and Nokia coming out with their first product. The operating system works really well. It is simple, it is easy to use, it is intuitive.
The reception to the Lumia launch has actually exceeded our expectations. So we think there is a very good chance that Microsoft will have a very good OS that will be right in there with iOS and Android.
When they come out with Windows 8 in the fourth quarter, I think it will actually add to the value that that OS brings to the marketplace, in that that will be the first time that you can truly have a similar experience on your PC, on your tablet, and on your smartphone from soft Microsoft. From what I have seen and the previews that I have been given, I think it is going to be exceptionally good. I am very upbeat in what they are bringing to the market.

I was told the event started off at 9:00 AM and will be up and running till 7:00 PM , I strolled in at around 2:15 or so. There was a small gathering there , mainly kids waiting to have a crack at the Angry Birds and have a dancing session with Timomatic.
