Farewell, Windows Mobile!Completely supported today

With the memories of the famous machine ...

For a small number of users in Japan, isn't the "W-ZERO3" series, which is equipped with Windows Mobile on the OS?Sliding a QWERTY keyboard, and above all, the feeling of work is so good that you can use it up to Microsoft Office Suite, but at the time, business users were so good at that.There are iPhone and Android smartphones, but if you value the high affinity with your computer and the professional typing environment and apps, maybe Windows smartphone has been the most likely image of the Windows smartphone?

I loved "HYBRID W-ZERO3", which decorated the last of the W-ZERO3 series (above).The Windows Mobile machine is a dare to remove the full keyboard, with a mobile phone -like dial key.What was HYBRID? In addition to the free use of WILLCOM's PHS line data communication function, it is standard equipment that can be switched to W-CDMA communication of NTT DOCOMO if you want high-speed communication.It was released.It was late, but it was good that the net was used for free from the PC on the outing of the USB cable.In a way, wasn't it a pioneer in MVNO's cheap SIM?

Later, as a Windows Phone, a smartphone -style model on both the iPhone and Android smartphones, which separated from the keyboard, was released around the world.The tiled home screen was characteristic.The OS version has also been uploaded, and as Windows 10, we have updated the "Windows 10 Mobile", but finally Microsoft will end up with all today.From now on, no security update or correction program is provided, and users are recommended to migrate to Android or iOS devices.

Microsoft has now released the Surface series on mobile and has been able to achieve a certain success.However, the OS has the same Windows as the PC, and it is not expected to call with Surface, exchange SMS, or use it as a so -called single smartphone.It seems that the Surface Phone appears, but it is Android that is used for the OS.The era of Microsoft's competition, making a Windows -based smartphone OS that is no longer iOS or Android, has passed completely.Unfortunately, the era of smartphone OS is almost a reality, and that may not change in the future.
