Windows Phone 8 detailed

Still not getting enough of Windows Phone 7 Mango? Well, wait till you got hold of Windows Phone 8, widely dubbed as Apollo. The guys in PocketNow managed to snag a copy of a video starring Windows Phone manager Joe Belfiore talking about what's coming in the next major revision. Those of you concerned with Microsoft's inability to go toe to toe with Apple and Google on specs can breathe a bit easier as new screen resolutions (four in total) and dual-core CPUs will be supported, while those clamoring for more storage will be happy to hear that microSD support has returned. These are the summarised details which Windows Phone 8 Apollo will support.

Support for dual cores
Support for four different resolutions, though no specifics were given
NFC support added, including payment and content sharing with WP8 and Windows 8 machines
Carrier control and branding of "wallet" element is possible via SIM or phone hardware
MicroSD support added for expandable storage
Transitions to core components from desktop, including kernel, network stack, security components and media support
Simplified porting of desktop apps to mobile
Zune desktop integration scrapped in favor of new, unnamed syncing app
Deeper Skydrive integration, including ability to sync data such as music collections
Xbox Companion app will get Windows 8 partner client
Native code support, simplified porting from Android and iOS
App-to-app communication and integration
Skype client with deep OS hooks that will make it almost identical to placing standard voice calls
Camera app now supports "lenses" which allow third parties to skin and add features to camera interface
DataSmart tracks and reports usage via app and live tile
Gives preferential treatment to WiFi, can automatically connect to carrier-owned hotspots
Proxy server will compress websites in Internet Explorer 10 up to 30 percent
Native Bitlocker encryption
Support for proprietary, custom built apps to be deployed behind company firewalls

Well, you can be sure I am looking forward for the launch of Apollo. Are you?
