A good news for all the Windows Phone users and fans ! Microsoft seems to be preparing to preview its latest version of Windows Phone later this month. The software giant released a "Phone Insider" app this week ahead of January 21st press event where Microsoft will be revealing its plans for Windows 10 across phones and tablets.
According to sources, the company will also be talking about a number of features aimed at Windows 10 for phones, including some user interface changes designed to more closely align its mobile operating system with its desktop platform and Xbox One console.
Microsoft also seems to be making changes to Windows 10 on the desktop to include light and dark themes that would match the phone and tablet editions. As it is currently being called as Windows Mobile and Windows 10 mobile internally at Microsoft, the next big mobile OS will include a combination of the Windows Phone and Windows RT operating systems. Microsoft has already started making universal apps for Windows and Windows Phone platforms.
While the company will reveal its developer and app plans further at the Build event held on 21st January, the event will be more focused on the consumer features of both the desktop and phone/ tablet operating system.
Microsoft is also expected to introduce a new name for its combined Windows RT and Windows Phone OS at the event.
The recently released "Phone Insider" app provides similar access to the Windows 10 insider program for desktop. Microsoft will be discussing more about this app on 21st January event, however the app currently only works for Microsoft employees at present.
One thing is for sure, Microsoft's 21st January event will be full of suspense and excitement for both developers and the consumers and all those who will be watching the event live that day. The Verge will be live from Microsoft's press event next week, so stay tuned for more details on both "The Verge" and your very own "Windows Avenue" blog post.
