Windows Phone 8 will soon run on existing Android hardware
The Windows Phone operating system will soon be capable of being run on existing Android hardware, Microsoft has confirmed.
Teasing upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 features during MWC 2014, Microsoft has revealed that the forthcoming platform update will see system requirements for the Windows Phone OS changed. As such, manufacturers will be able to port the Windows Phone OS to existing Android hardware.
With Microsoft having recently offered Windows Phone 8.1 update hints, Greg Sullivan, Microsoft’s Director of Windows Phone has discussed in further detail with TrustedReviews the effects this will have on the platform, not just for consumers but manufacturers too.
Detailing some of the upcoming improvements, he revealed that the Windows Phone 8.1 update, which is still to be officially named, will see “support for Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 and 400 chipsets” added.
On top of this, the reworked OS will allow “support for soft keys so that you don’t have to have physical hardware buttons.”
Looking to the larger benefits of these seemingly small changes, Sullivan stated: “One of the important things there is that an OEM can now take a device – an existing device that they are shipping with Android on it today – and install Windows Phone on it.”
He added: “They can leverage and get scale with their investments, they don’t have to go and build a separate thing that costs more, it’s going to eliminate a lot of barriers and make it more efficient and economically feasible for more OEMs to get into that business.”
The Director of Windows Phone went on to tell us: “There is a change in how we are engaging our OEM partners.
“With Windows Phone 8, we shrunk the number of OEMs we worked with relative to Windows 7.5. That was intentional as we knew we were going to the new Kernal underneath and we wanted to focus our engineering resources on fewer OEMs to make sure that we got it right.
“Now we can turn our attention to growing the ecosystem, growing the install base, and having a wider range of support for new devices.”
Despite claiming big things are in store for the future of Windows Phone, the third OS as it has widely become known, was scarcely represented at Mobile World Congress this week.
With a mass of Android handsets and a fleet of Firefox OS devices unveiled, Microsoft’s mobile OS was completely overlooked by leading manufacturers.

Lets see the full text which might help you understand the features, requirements and other details of the Game Pad. Here you go:
Wait, why are you so excited? I know you are excited, but first see the picture of the Game Pad with a Samsung Galaxy device!
The Samsung Galaxy Gamepad, after much advertisements, is presently formally available in the markets now. In spite of the fact that Samsung is, no doubt rather confused about where you can really pick one up from – the release of the GamePad isnt especially clear, so were tend to remark from Samsung about particular areas, evaluating and accessibility..
The Gamepad is fully compatible and needs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean to run effectively and will back up handsets with presentations running from 4-inch to 6.3-inches. The GamePad is having Bluetooth v3.0 so you can also connect it with your device without any wire [wireless].
As far as GamePad theres a 8-way D-Pad, 2 analog sticks, 4 action buttons, 2 triggers, select button, begin button and a Play button. The controllers controls seems to be perfect and conformable. The Play button will start the new Mobile Console application, which shows all the games on the devices.

Samsung has said that youll be able to play almost every game after 2014 with this controller.
The Gamepad is presently accessible in select European markets and will be accessible in the Uk in the advancing weeks, Samsung said in a proclamation to the press, but we didnt found any of the device in Europe, thats why I said the launch is not actually visible.
A German Samsung website is additionally reporting that the organization will be releasing the Gamepad as a group not individually because they are expecting huge demand for it.. The rumor is the Gamepad will be packed with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 in an incomparable "Game Edition" pack. It shows up it will land after Christmas now however theres no official authoritative from Samsung yet so we dont think well get the gift in 2013.
We cant anticipate that the pack will be shoddy however recognizing the Gamepad itself is worth €79 (£65). Well make certain to update you as often as possible when news hails from Samsung or Sammobiles.
All Features of it: [It is also available for Android devices running 4.1 Jelly Bean+]

Pebble Appstore launches today on iOS Android coming soon
Pebble has confirmed that the Pebble Appstore will be launching on iOS devices today, Monday February 3.
Read more »
The Pebble Appstore was shown off at CES 2014 alongside the new Pebble Steel, but no exact release date was given at that time.
Although the Appstore will only be available on iOS originally, the Android version is now in beta and should be available soon.
“Putting finishing touches on the Pebble appstore over the weekend – check us out on Monday! Looking good so far,” came the official Pebble tweet.
The Pebble Appstore will be stored within the existing Pebble app on your smartphone and will allow you to download apps directly from the store.
Currently, Pebble owners have to source their apps from third-party resources, but with the Pebble Appstore all the apps will come together in one place for users to discover.
Similar to the Android and iOS app stores, the Pebble apps will be sorted into categories such as Daily, Remotes, Games, Notficiation,s Tools & Utilities, Watchfaces and Fitness.
Pebble developers will also be able to post their own apps to the Pebble Appstore, and were advised to submit them by January 9 in order for their app to be available at launch.
The Appstore will be introduced to the Pebble iOS app in an update that will start rolling out at 10am PST. UK Pebble users will start seeing the update appear from 6pm BST.
It has been suggested Pandora, GoPro, iControl, Yelp, FourSquare, Mercedes-Benz and ESPN will all have apps within the official Pebble Appstore when it launches later today.
The Pebble Steel is started shipping in late January, but has already sold out as there was only limited availability at the start. Now if you want to get your hands on the premium metal eInk smartwatch, you’ll have to wait until “late February”.
