Finally, Microsoft has revealed the first official figures on sales of terminals with the new operating system Windows 7 Mobile. According to estimates published, were sold (from producers to traders and official retailers) 1.5 WP 7 million smartphones in the first six weeks after launch.

Record sales volumes delivered to referring to the terminal operators and retailers is a standard in this industry and Microsoft is keen to stress, and treats the numbers provided to those usually reported by other companies such as Nokia, Samsung or LG.

As always, the spread of these numbers has triggered reactions of various kinds. On Twitter, many people declared bankruptcy, comparing the sales of WP7 in six weeks to those of Android / iPhone in less than one week. This type of reaction is disproportionate and every aspect should be considered in context: WP7 is a completely new platform, a challenge for Microsoft and for users who decide to try it and 1.5 million phones sold (even if sales channels retail) is still a good number.

Microsoft and partners are almost to the point of smartphones to deliver 1 million per month, or 12 million phones WP7 year, so not a staggering number, but even a premature failure as determined by some. Consider that were sold 6 million iPhones of the first models in 12 months and Google has put us six months to deliver the first Android million handsets at launch.

So, if we look at the numbers provided by Microsoft and compare them with the data set just for the iPhone and Android, WP7 is doing better than the two predecessors at the same moment in history. True, Microsoft has started the adventure with many more partners from the manufacturers own part in many more countries and telcos with more than Android and iPhone at the beginning and the smartphone market is now larger and more widespread.

Trying to forget the many "if" and various "but" we should keep an eye on what happens with the Christmas sales and just get the first update for Windows 7 Phone, trying to think about the long term.

China was already supposed to be the king in his own country, including the use of software. Recently, China is preparing a local's operating system for ejecting Windows.

China Standard Software Company (CSS) center in cooperation with the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), to produce local OS that understands the needs of domestic users.

"This cooperation is able to realize our ambition to create an operating system with local flavor, and strong for China," said a spokesman for CSS, as reported by Computer World, Wednesday (22/12/2010).

Previously CSS has developed a Linux-based NeoShine, the use of which has taken place among government, business and personal computers. While NUDT, develop alternative KylinOS as security against foreign software such as Windows.

In the Bamboo Curtain countries, Microsoft's Windows operating system is still popular among office users. Although the artificial CSF and NUDT software is already widely used computers in government offices in China.

Unfortunately not known when this OS will slide in China because of the CSS and NUDT still keep it a secret.

Microsoft may be planning to increase its ability Kinect devices. The tool will make it more accurate than exist in today's market.

This is based on the fact that Microsoft Kinect actually be to display the image resolution is far higher than users realize. This means that these devices have the potential to run at 640 x 480 pixel display, compared with the present that is, 320 x 240. Similarly, as quoted from Pocket-Lint, on Wednesday (22/12/2010).

This development indicates that the increase is also needed for the Xbox 360, in order to store more data to be transmitted to the console. If these increases do mean Microsoft Kinect able to detect finger movement and rotation of the hand.

News from Eurogamer stated that the issue of low-res at Kinect currently comes from the display face USB controller, capable of up to about 35 MBps, but used only about 15-16 MBps. This restriction is based on the ability of the XBox to use a lot of USB devices.

If Microsoft is really going to do Kinect ability Kinect then the specifications in the camera will also be increased two-fold.

Kinect is gaming and entertainment device in the form of motion control by Microsoft. First launched on 4 November 2010.
