Microsoft OneApp – Applications for feature mobile phones


The world of technology is never static! But the pace by which mobile technology is advancing it seems that soon there would a time when mobile would be something that would help people to most of the daily stuff at their hands. Indeed that is happening. From social networking sites to chatting to clicking moments and sharing with friends and also shopping via internet from home is nothing extraordinary these days. But there is constant try to make the applications easier and swift and more fruitful and advanced that would go with the present world living conditions. Take for instance the Microsoft OneApp – applications for feature mobile phones that come with features that phone users can swear by.


What is Microsoft OneApp? This is software application developed by none other than the giant Microsoft Corp which have enable featured phones that are found today in market to access mobile applications that are much sought after these days like Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Twitter and other such popular games and apps. Thus with the launch of Microsoft OneApp the featured phones users can now enjoy more mobile experience in their existing phones and also will be offered initially through partners through emerging markets worldwide. At first Microsoft OneApp was offered only to partners in the market that was emerging worldwide but slowly this has been released for featured phones that making porting across different types of handsets. Overall this has made applications an easy process.



It's outlandish to see an attempt by Microsoft to facilitate omnipresent applications and that is for multiple services and applications that they actually don’t own. And their applications are on a platform that they don’t own. Perhaps this is another game plan by Microsoft to make their applications popular and make them omnipresent everywhere thus giving competition to the brands of mobile phones that use their platform and features in them. OneApp is the right name as it runs on any mobile phone and provides a framework that run on applications on it. Microsoft’s intention is that it enables feature phones to download the application from the online gallery and then run the application to get installed in the phones. Once the applications get installed one can easily access to the features and functions that the Microsoft OneApp offers.


But while downloading the Microsoft OneApp you must be careful that you are not downloading in some low end featured phone as it can really affect the processing speed of the phone and also reduce the performance of other applications. This happens because most of the applications processing would work on Mircosoft’s cloud servers. And the applications that are listed in the Microsoft Application are Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, and others. With their OneApp developer kit, based on JavaScript and XML, they plan to enable anyone to generate a norm branded experience with OneApp.
Java is already a ubiquitous platform, quite obviously, since this app itself is based on Java; why not just build on that? And software developers would have the freedom to write new apps for OneApp using the industry standards like XML and Javascript.
