Recently Microsoft Band 2 is announced, which has some nice benefits above of the first edition. The first Band was a good start, but design was not what most people want. This time it has a rounder design and offers more functionality. It has a Barometer, Gorilla Glass 3 and Cortana build-in. It has all known features from the first Band: Built-in GPS, UV monitoring, Guided workouts, Sleep & Calorie tracking and Smart notifications. Let's have a look at a nice comparison on the specs! This comparison is based on Band 2 and Apple Watch.
As far as comparing the technical specs of the two devices, here's a breakdown of some of the more pertinent categories.
Band 2 has a few advantages over Apple Watch, most notably better battery life and a greater array of sensors. By adding a curved display, Band 2 also addresses one of the weaknesses of the first-generation model, since that model's flat display made the device sit awkwardly on the wrist. Just great if you ask me!

Since this week built-in mobile device management (MDM) is available for Office 365 commercial plans. With MDM for Office 365, you can manage access to Office 365 data across a diverse range of phones and tablets, including iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices, without the need for Microsoft Intune. The built-in MDM features are included at no additional cost in all Office 365 commercial plans, including Business, Enterprise, EDU and Government plans.
Office 365’s MDM capabilities work to keep your data safe in three ways:
-Conditional Access: Setup security policies to ensure that Office 365 corporate email and documents can be accessed only on phones and tablets that are managed by your company and are compliant.
-Device management: Manage security policies such as PIN lock and jailbreak detection to help prevent unauthorized users from accessing corporate email and data on a device when it is lost or stolen.
-Selective wipe: Remove Office 365 company data from an device while leaving personal data in place.
When looking at the Feature Comparison, there are big differences seen between Exchange ActiveSync, MDM for Office 365, Intune Standalone and Intune + ConfigMgr (Hybrid). This Feature Comparison can help to decide which solution offers the functionality needed.
When looking for protection beyond what’s included in Office 365, you can subscribe to Microsoft Intune, part of the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite, and receive additional device and application management capabilities for phones, tablets and PCs. With Microsoft Intune actions such as cut, copy, paste and save as to applications can be restricted as well, keep corporate information even more secure.
Nice to see that Office 365 has MDM capabilities from now on!

Yesterday I posted a comparison between Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5, HTC One, and BlackBerry Z10. You can find that one HERE. Today a new comparison is available. This time between Galaxy S4 vs. Lumia 920 vs. BlackBerry Z10. Yeah, finally a new comparison with Windows Phone 8 in it. Let's have a look at the specs!
Hope you can make a choice between the new 2013 mobile phones this way. My choice will be probably the Nokia Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8 onboard. Hope you like it :)
Nokia Lumia 920 review - Youtube
Last week a new comparison is released between the Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5, HTC One, and BlackBerry Z10. Just have a look at it, and decide it's enough for choosing a new mobile phone. Unfortunately no Windows Phone 8 is added to this comparison. A few other comparisons can be found here:
- Mobile phone comparison for iOS, Android and Windows Phone
- Windows Phone 8 comparison for HTC, Nokia and Samsung phones
Just have a look at the comparison:
Within a month it's my turn for choosing a new mobile phone. My choice is between Android (Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S3 plus) and Windows Phone 8 (Samsung Ativ S, Nokia Lumia 920). I'm curious about it, and post my choice later :)
Within a few months it's time to order a new mobile phone again. At the moment I have a cheap Samsung Galaxy Ace phone with Android installed on it. Not that Android isn't good, but the Operating System performs pretty bad on it. It crashes all the time and it's very slow. Also there's too little free memory available on it to install a lot of apps. Time to have a good comparison now, and don't order a phone quick because a lot of colleagues have ordered it also :) Let's have a look.
At the moment the most popular phones are:
- Apple iPhone 5 (iOS 6)
- Samsung Galaxy S III / HTC One X (Android 4.0)
- Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8)
These high end mobile phones are all really fast and have enough free memory available on it too install a lot of apps. Searching on the web I found a ultimate comparison, for the most popular phones including BlackBerry 10 (without specifications). Here it is:
There's also another comparison which contains the most popular phones, except the HTC One X is missing. Nice to see that the Nokia Lumia 920 has wireless charging built-in. Here it is:
Based on above comparison(s) and other news I found on the web, I'm very curious about the Nokia Lumia 920. It will be available November 2012 in Europe, so it's not yet available at the moment. It's time for a change and Windows Phone 8 is most likely the winning one for me! Question is, will it be the black, white, grey, yellow or red one :)
Expect more on this topic soon!
