Ms Mobile Show - A Microsoft Enthusiast Podcast

Feedback  Last week we had a poll which asked how many hands you tend to use while using your phone. We had some great responses, of which some were quite surprising. David and I ended up discussing in depth, so if you are interested, go back to last week's episode at msmobileshow.com/008. You can also see the poll results at … http://msmobileshow.com/008/  A special shout-out to Vernon's brother, Pete, who recently discovered podcasts after years of badgering from his big brother. So far he has been listening to the Dave Ramsey Show, and maybe, just maybe, he will be listening to this episode on his Galaxy S4. He did recommend the app Podcast Addict, which can be found in the Google Play store. If you hear the show through your Android device, let us know which app you prefer!  Another shout-out is in order to Robert Shurbet, also known as The Cheeky Taurus. As some of you know, I have been debating on which phone I would use to replace my wife Anna's Lumia 920 that recently died. Robert was willing to part

How many hands does it take to stay connected with your mobile device? Vernon and guest host David Kimball discuss the "hand discussion", based off of a recent poll which showed some surprising results! They also talk about the new Microsoft apps coming to Android and iOS, and some of the great apps that have recently arrived in the Windows Phone Store. They begin a new segment: Twitter Tip, which helps you get the most out of your Twitter profile. As always, the hosts share their personal app, music, and podcast picks!   Show Notes Tip of the Episode Internet Explorer 11 for mobile - Better than you may think Data Sense Reading View Passwords save across devices Bookmarklets including Translate, Forward, Top, etc.   Poll: How do you usually use your mobile phone? 95% One-handed 60% One-handed, 40% two-handed 40% One-handed, 60% two-handed 95% Two-handed Get the Straw app, here!   News Microsoft: Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2: http://www.windowscentral.com/quick-tour-windows-phone-81-update-2 Apple: Office Lens

Episode 7 - Windows 10 Mobile Windows Phone technical preview 10? Windows 10 for phone technical preview? W10TPfp? It turns out we don't really know what to call what we just installed on our phones, but that didn't stop us from talking about it. Despite not having a specific Microsoft service to discuss, we still managed to share our personal app, music, and podcast picks, but not before sharing the affection and distain we have for what we have seen so far of Windows 10 Mobile. Lacking sleep and a dedicated producer, we still manage to slip a lame joke or two in amongst our analysis of what Microsoft enthusiasts have been trialing the past few days. Enjoy!   Show Notes Feedback Bryan Hinkle encourages Microsoft Mobile enthusiasts to build on his concept of an app that helps Windows Phone users share with companies that need a Windows Phone app, encouraging them to invest the time in building one. Darrell Prichard reminds us and the listeners that Microsoft Virtual Academy is a wonderful resource for gaining

Tip of the Episode OneNote OneNote -> Notebooks -> Sections -> Pages Can change background chrome to resemble a three-ring binder. Especially useful for handwriting because of the lines. Big difference between OneNote and Word, it that is designed for unfinished work. Basically a huge virtual whiteboard, that doesn’t lose its data when “erased”. There is no enforced uniform page layout or structure. Most common on laptops or desktops, but tablets becoming more popular, basically adding in environments where pen, audio, or video notes are more appropriate than an intensive use of keyboard. Search all the things! Words Pictures (including words in pictures) Screencaps Handwriting (“electronic ink”) Web links Document scans (ie: PDFs) because of OCR Audio Sync everywhere - Multiple users can edit shared documents at the same time, whether they are online at the time or not. If there are version sync issues, the merging is very easy. Tip: If you know several users are in the document at the same time, take a
