Windows Phone 7 Series will not have a file nanager

Microsoft’s Mobile Communications Business Senior Director Todd Brix has revealed to us that the company will enable a different methodology for file management on the next-generation mobile OS. Rather than have the traditional File Explorer, Microsoft will hide all the file structure from end-users, much like the iPhone, and instead will offer to organize files into relevant hubs, as one method. The company did not reveal any details in our brief conversation, but files will be automatically handled by the platform, from synchronization with the PC or cloud to arranging and managing the content and data on the device.

Windows Phone 7 Series smartphones priced higher than Android

Microsoft recently stated that it will be charging for the operating system behind Windows Phone 7 Series, which could make smartphones running the Microsoft OS priced slightly more expensive than their Android counterparts running hardware with similar specs due to the added licensing cost–Google provides Android as a free, open-source OS for manufacturers.

According to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer:

“I think there’s something clean and simple and easy to understand about our model. We build something, we sell that thing … I think it’s not only in our best interests, but it’s a simple model that’s easy for developers, handset manufacturers, and our operator partners to deal with, to understand, and to build from.”
