Windows Phone 8.1 new news leaked from the SDK

[Ma Rio]

I just want to be able to change item properties (like tags for songs) directly from that new file browser.

anyone know if you'll be able to transfer files to specific apps? (eg. transferring video file to specific video playing app)

Shame that app developers can't be trusted to respect the NDA enough to keep their mouths shut.

Yeah, a promise is a promise. Although I have to wonder who they are keeping it a secret from? Is there anything in the list of "secrets" that is of any worth to Apple or Google? I mean if Apple and Google get this information what would it change about their strategy?

Any News on gapless playback and more accent colors ?

 

[lovenokia]

Windows phone is playing catch up in features and really are not too many features that have been leaked that other platforms have. They kept the better things more of a secret. I do not think that they lost very much.

WPC posted that Facebook is completely removed from people hub....is that true??

I dont think its gone they will probably let your Microsoft account log u into Facebook now since u can link your acct to Facebook. I think thewindows 8.1 does the same thing

I hope that's true. I hardly ever use the actual FB or Twitter apps and always use the People hub

Screen mirroring to a monitor or TV This just made my day!!!

Isn't that just Miracast, which is supported already?

I wonder, sense they are saying the UX is now working like W8, will pressing the start screen launch the start menu, and pressing it again send you back to the app you were last using?

That I think will be very nice. as for the first time you will feel you are on a computer, not a phone.

I've also been read about a new and official Facebook blue app for 8.1 that will integrate with the people hub after you sign in. So I hope that's the case

I am kinda getting a feel that we will get this update way before when we think we will get it.

I have the same feeling, may be after MWC.

Actually I don't think that's enough time for Devs to tinker their way with the OS, and there is a small issue of apps not being back compatible, meaning apps on WP8.1 wont work on WP8, so even with the update, we might not get serious stuff to be laid on top of that amazing OS as most of the people wont be able to use it.

Am i the only who's thinking about What will be the update size after reading the whole list of new features..??

It seems like they did a lot of under the hood stuff! So if we treat it like mostly a new OS version... 1.5gb?

The Accent colors, not many new: http://i.imgur.com/tyisYkO.png

I see only one but thats a special samsung color i think (like the htc color). So nothing new.
