Images from the Windows Phone 8 SDK show off updated Office, SMS backup
It’s still technically the same day as the leak of the Windows Phone 8 SDK and now some images are showing up online showcasing some new features of the updated OS (we’re visiting Canada and don’t have access to our Win 8 machine to run the SDK ourselves). The images come via WP7.Hu who has thrown no less than 30 images up on their site.
Images are stronger than words so we’ll keep this one brief. These images show of various new or updates features in Windows Phone 8 which consumers will be more than glad to gander. Here’s what is displayed after the break (and above):
- Text message backup to SkyDrive
- Office 2013 for Windows Phone
- Photo options
- New Accent colors
- Lock screen options
- Phone storage (+ SD card support)
- App list + setting backup feature
- Microsoft Account
- Voice Command options
- Xbox Music
Needless to say, it’s a lot so head past the break to see it all in its glory. Make sure to "click to enlarge" to get a better look. Thanks, xajuan, for the tip
