OneDrive

Family Shared folders - upload images from many Phones or Tablets and all Family devices can see them on PC, XBox etc.

I really really doubt any new hardware will be announced
The speakers for the event are all from the software side of MS and none from the devices division

And how many other "21st January" threads are going to appear as the commentards mutter, moan and whinge about what may and what may not be announced.

*Yawn*

Whatever they do they need to find something to ADD some excitement to their offerings. Something, hell anything. Its like funeral at Microsoft. Maybe they should bring Mr. B back. At least he raised hell. LOL

How about they actually stop sitting on their hands, stop yapping and actually release this supposed holy grail of operating systems? Too much talk while the competition solidifies their position (with the help of Microsoft themselves, the irony) while the Windows platform declines.

Microsoft should change the app design guidelines and make the UI more similar to Android. For example, Facebook, OneDrive and the Health app are using UI elements more commonly seen in the other platforms, breaking with the traditional WP UI guidelines.

The fact that WP's UI is so different increase the cost of porting apps from other platforms. Adding new UI element that are equivalent to Android's UI elements would make it very easy. Maybe even an automatic converter could transform an Android UI to the equivalent WP code.

If Universal apps fail, the only option would be adding support for Android apps, this change would help with that transition.

Hey maybe they can give us some updates for Microsoft Band

Actually. The OneDrive app on Windows Phone shows what the future of the Metro UI is. The look is pretty similar to Windows 10 UI guidelines

I think this should just be a given.

I'd really like to see a new flagship phone announced though. Perhaps the 940 or 1530......

for Lumia 1040, use dual CPU because of 8K recording, Snapdragon 805 used for normal usage, Snapdragon 800 for image processing when recording
*if camera is more than 30MP, it will use dual CPU like 1040

Snapdragon 800 for image processing when recording
