Mobile CRM apps and services for iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phones and Blackberry devices to be roll out in Q2 from Microsoft
Posted on February 7th, 2012 No commentsMicrosoft announced on Monday that it will embrace rival mobile platforms and browsers with a planned second-quarter service update of its Microsoft Dynamics CRM application, including iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phones and Blackberry devices. “In today’s hyperconnected world, customers need to be able to access their business-critical data on the device of their choice,” said Dennis Michalis, general manager, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, in a statement. The Dynamics CRM service update will include a new cloud-based mobile CRM service called Microsoft Dynamics CRM Mobile. Check the bellow words from ZDNet writer Mary Jo Foley to get a more detailed acquaintance about the Microsoft Dynamics CRM event.
Summary: Microsoft will deliver mobile versions of its Dynamics CRM app and service for iPad, iPhone, Android phone, BlackBerry and Windows Phone 7 in the second quarter of 2012.
Some time between April and May of this year, Microsoft will roll out Dynamics CRM mobile clients and service simultaneously for the iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry devices.
The coming mobile components — something some Windows Phone users have been asking about for years — will be part of the Dynamics CRM Q2 2012 service update, Microsoft officials said on February 6. (February 6 is the day when Microsoft is releasing its preview guide for its next update, which Microsoft has committed to provide 60 to 90 days before a new update is available to on-premises and online users.)
All of the new mobile CRM releases will be ready at the same time and downloadable from their respective marketplaces on the same day, said Craig Dewar, Director of Product Management for Dynamics CRM.
Here’s a Microsoft-supplied screen shot of what the Dynamics CRM app on the iPad will look like:
The coming Dynamics CRM mobile clients/service starts at $30 per user, per month and supports the use of up to three devices per user. While this sounds pricey compared to the going rate for Office 365 and its component parts, it looks like it undercuts Salesforce’s comparable mobile-client offering, which starts at $65 per user per month. (Salesforce also has a free Mobile Lite CRM client with limited capabilities and connectivity, as does Microsoft, which still offers Mobile Express for Dynamics CRM.)In addition to adding mobile support to its platform, Microsoft also is stepping up its cross-browser support for Dynamics CRM users. With the Q2 update, users will have a choice of Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari running on PCs, Macs and iPads. Here’s a chart showing which versions will be supported on which platforms:
The Q2 update also will add more social capabilities, making Microsoft’s social CRM components look and feel even more like Facebook- and/or Salesforce Chatter. Users will have the ability to like/unlike status updates on their Activity Feeds and get improved filtering capabilities.Users of the on-premises version of the Q2 update also will have access to new Microsoft Excel Workbooks with pre-defined PowerPivot models and Power View Report templates to help them perform quick analyses in areas like product sales, customer demographics and sales pipelines. (Power View, a k a “Project Crescent,” is a new self-service business-intelligence feature in SQL Server 2012, which is due to launch on March 7.) Microsoft plans to add support for these enterprise capbilities to Dynamics CRM, too, at some point in the future, officials said.
Microsoft officials said last year that the company planned to deliver quarterly updates (two major/two minor) to both its on-premises Dynamics CRM product and its hosted CRM Online one.
The Dynamics CRM unit isn’t the only Microsoft division that is upping its cross-platform support.
Microsoft already offers OneNote for the iPhone and iPad; a SkyDrive cloud-storage app for iPhone; a Lync client for Android; a Lync client for iPhone and Hotmail for Android. Company officials said late last year to expect even more mobile cross-platform app support from Microsoft in 2012, especially on Android devices.

Windows Phone 7 Mango Build 7712 jailbreak and updated new features
Posted on August 1st, 2011 No commentsMost Windows Phone 7 Mango 7661 users must have received the update news about the Mango Build 7712 version. Compared with the previous 7661 version, the new updated Mango Build 7712 mainly updates in fixing some bugs and upgrading a few mobile phone functions. The Mango Build 7712 is just a very simple and little update for Windows Phone 7 users. And in this post, I would like to share some Windows Phone 7 Mango Build 7712 jailbreak directions and the new updated mobile phone features with all of you guys.
I would firstly introduce the steps to update your Windows Phone 7 Mango 7661 to 7712. The premise of updating your Windows Phone 7 to 7712 version is that the existing mobile operation system is 7661 version. For users who would like to install jailbreak apps, please make sure you have made successful jailbreak. Taking Samsung Omnia 7 (i8700) as an example, when you connect your phone to your computer, Zune 4.8 would automatically remind you the available new update, click “Update Now” and wait for the update completed.
When the update is successful, your mobile would restart automatically and you would find your staring up logo of your mobile phone turns to red. After the update, your jailbreak would be default as ineffective. You need to restart them. Input “##634#” on the dialing interface to enter Service Menu and input “*#9908#” to enter GPRS Manager, then choose previous imported unlock configurations and click “Save” to restart jailbreaking.
After that, return to the main menu and select the previous installed Samsung Tools (if not able to enter this app, do the above settings again), and check all 4 options to confirm. When the prompt shows the mobile phone needs to restart, confirm that. Now, the jailbreak of your Windows Phone 7 Mango Build 7712 update has been jailbroke successfully.
Well, now, let’s take a look at what new updated features the Windows Phone 7 Mango Build 7712 brings. Firstly some major updates for some popular apps:
1. Twitter has been consolidated to the “What’s New Feeds”, with the instant upgrading notice showed in the big “Me” icon on the screen.
2. Five Hubs (People/Zune/Pictures/Zune/Marketplace hub) owns more vivid dynamic effects.
3. Visual Voicemail interface adjusted for more convenient use.
4. Supports to share Twitter page links through Twitter.
5. Multi-task Manager interface rolls fast with up to 5 apps available to start, not slowly rolling one by one, and less screen space required.
Other minor updates:
1. Consolidated LinkedIn.
2. Paste icon shows only content copied or cut in clipboard.
3. Copy and paste sounds better, like digital water-drop.
4. New Windows starting-up logo.
5. No square icon for People Hub in Groups.
6. In Music + Videos Hub, the random play button moved to the bottom and previous triangle icon changed to music marks, and the Marquee content has been arranged in alphabetical order.
7. In Bing Maps, Me button icon has been changed.
8. Optimized Bing Map search results.
9. When the text inputting jumps to a new paragraph, the first letter would be automatically capitalized.
To sum up, the Windows Phone 7 Mango Build 7712 mostly upgrades in minor functions, no new apps along. In the end, let’s watch the Build 7712 operation demo to get a close look:

New Windows Phone 7 Mango Specs: User friendly Custom ringtones are coming
Posted on June 29th, 2011 No commentsIt has been all known that the next generation of Windows Phone, Windows Phone 7 Mango, will come out this fall. Right yesterday, the Windows team blog released another great improvement of Windows Phone 7 Mango, which has settled the long anticipated custom ringtone problem. The upcoming Windows Phone 7 Mango would provide users with user-friendly ringtone customization function.
One possibility of this long expected upcoming function is that an additional option “Save as Ringtone” will be added for you to add your customized sound, audio or music, which would help you turn your customized files into a unique ringtone on Windows Phone 7 Mango. In Mango, any Marketplace app that revolves around sound or music—karaoke apps, sound effect apps, DJ apps, music instrument apps—potentially become a source of new custom ringtones for your phone.
Yet, the Mango will provide users the chance to customize ringtones with some restrictions, shows as bellow:
1. 39 seconds or shorter
2. Smaller than 1 megabyte (MB)
3. Saved in MP3 or WMA format
4. Not copy-protected (i.e. DRM free)
The detailed tutorial of how to do this would be out along with the street date of Windows Phone 7 Mango. For Zune users, when you have customized an audio file that meets the above conditions, just save it in the Genre of Ringtone and then you could sync your customized ringtone to the Windows Phone 7 Mango, showed in the bellow picture:
Besides the function of customizing ringtones in Windows Phone 7 Mango, it also provides some new native Microsoft ringtones for users.
