C. "USB choices" ? will this makes me transfer files and documents between my phone and PC just by using the USB cable (Drag and drop) ? or maybe we can use a thumb usb drive just like we have on android ?
Thank you.
A - Windows phone 8.1 devices will have an option to not have capacitive buttons at the bottom of the phone but can instead be displayed on the screen. I guess the colour choices is just to let people have some customisations. Something like the HTC 8S but using the bottom 0.5cm of the screen (and you can hide the bar when you dont need it).
B - improved chat notifications will be welcome, granted the current push notification system works quite well in some instances like WhatsAPP it isn't very useful things like Lync & lets face it the push notifications themselves can be a bit hit or miss. If MS are providing API's to allow chat notifications the option to embed themselves more into the OS (as indicated by the "set default messaging app") you can imagine how say Skype or WhatsAPP could totally replace the built in messaging app allowing imessage type functionality but more open.
C - USB choices - I see this being a bit like Android's choices I guess and means say for example when I just need to charge my phone I don't have to also enable data if it is on a PC I don't trust.
