Microsoft says all Hotmail users are now on Outlook.com, moves 150 petabytes of data
Microsoft has announced that it has successfully
migrated 300 million active Hotmail users to the newer Outlook.com email
service. The massive move over means there are now 400 million users of
Outlook.com, according to a blog post announcing the milestone.
A more polished email experience than Hotmail
|
Naturally, a move of this nature means transfer of huge amounts of data
as well. The transition meant 150 petabytes of data was migrated over to
the Outlook servers in six weeks – a feat that’s still boggling our
minds. For those users who held on dearly to Hotmail, Outlook.com will
bring a whole new experience.
Outlook.com leverages many of Microsoft’s other services like SkyDrive
cloud storage and the People app. Microsoft has added support for SMTP
send, which means users can send messages from an alias account. With
two-step authentication also coming soon, Outlook.com users look to be
in safe hands.
Different Types of Mobile Phone Operating Systems?
There are many different mobile phone operating systems currently being used. Some of the most well-known include Symbian, BlackBerry OS, iOS, Windows Mobile, and Android. Most of them are associated with specific brands of phone made by specific companies while others are open-source and are available on a variety of platforms.
Symbian is primarily found on Nokia phones, but phones by Sharp, Fujitsu, Sony and other companies have the operating system installed as well. Symbian is open source, meaning anyone can use it without having to pay. It is widely used, but it is not the most advanced or full-featured of mobile phone operating systems. Most phones that use Symbian are low-end devices, not full-featured smart phones. Many manufacturers, including Nokia, who had long been the biggest supporter of the OS, have switched over to other operating systems.
One of the most well-known operating systems for mobile phones is the BlackBerry OS. It is the only one of the mobile phone operating systems to be found on BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry OS is tailor-made for business, with functionality taking a seat over personality or appearance. Its main focus is on messaging, email and other communication features. Media players, and other entrainment-based applications are less-common for the device.
Apple's iOS is found on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Operating system security and compatibility has been a point of contention for some in regards to iOS. It is entirely closed-source, and Apple chooses on its own which software the platform will and will not support. Adobe Flash, for example, does not work on the embedded operating system. Still, it does have a wide variety of apps and an interface that many laud for its ease of use.
Windows Mobile, also known as Windows Phone, is the mobile phone version of Microsoft's operating system. Because of this, it is easily compatible with many Windows programs such as Microsoft Office, making it a popular choice for businesspeople. Windows Mobile was originally designed for Microsoft's line of Pocket PCs before being adapted for use in phones.
The Android is based off of the Linux operating system. Originally developed by an independent organization, it was later bought by Google, although the OS itself remains free and open source. Android is praised by many for his flexibility as a platform. Anyone can develop apps for the OS, and any company can release a phone using it.
There are just some of the mobile phone operating systems currently in use. Palm's webOS, bada from Samsung, and Noki's Maemo are just some of the operating systems that are used on smartphones around the world. Given the ever-changing nature of the technology industry, even more are bound to show up in time.

Standard Mobile Phone versus the Smart Phone
The standard mobile phone is your conventional cellular phone that is intended primarily for mobile communication: you can make and receive calls, send and receive SMS (Short Messaging Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), store information and data (such as contacts, calendars, notes and memos, to-do lists, take pictures and record videos using your multi-megapixel camera (usually up to 5MP), organize files through simple file managers, have access to the world wide web via installed browsers, download and play music and games, and other limited mobile services (depending on the capabilities of your mobile phone). The features are very basic. Usually, your standard mobile phone will be equipped with either the numerical format keypad or the QWERTY keyboard. Memory cards can be added and inserted in the phone’s built in slots. Other advanced features will allow you access to Bluetooth technology for internet connectivity and file sharing services.
The smart phones, otherwise known as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) or Pocket PCs, are much more complicated devices compared to the basic mobile phone. They run on operating systems making your smart phones serve more like miniature computer systems rather than a simple phone unit. You can have office applications installed—word, power point, spreadsheets, etc. Your emails and other internet-based communications will be in sync. Anywhere you go, you can have access to your emails and social networking site accounts. There are a multitude of applications that you can download (or buy) into your Smartphone: from games to travel trackers to news updates to weather reports to finance management programs to dictionaries and references to live updates on twitter! The world is truly at the palm of your hand when you have a smart phone. Of course, the smart phone is generally more expensive and they come out in a lot more innovative designs. Touch screens has also become the trend among these highly-advanced mobile phones.
