hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a hands-on of Windows Phone 7 Series recently they put out a ton of new information and included in that is the full developer's kit as well as the emulator so today I'll go ahead and give you guys a quick walkthrough of the emulator or more specifically the only app that's included which is an Internet Explorer but still though you guys can tell a lot of really cool features that will be included in Windows Phone 7 so I'll go ahead and walk you guys through it and show you guys what to expect anyway let's get started ok so to begin with go ahead and just show you guys a quick walkthrough so if you look down here on the left button is the back button it's pretty much exactly as you think it functions as a back button for a variety of different apps it'll exit out of an app or it coming back up or whatever pretty much however you want to use it in the middle you have the windows or the start button this functions similarly to a basically to the home button and an iPhone really basic you know nothing exciting and on the right is the search button now the search button isn't working in this right now obviously because there's not a whole lot to search for but when you get the Windows Phone it will actually go ahead and allow you to pull up a full search and allow you to go ahead and search through your phone and search through all the kinds of dating app on so look up here we have Internet Explorer so let's go ahead and open it up so you see here it's got a very cool interface everything flips and turns and it's pretty cool looking so now that we're ends at the interface we'll go ahead and go ahead and show you guys real quick I'm just three four buttons either on the bottom but I'll get to those in just a second let's just go ahead and give you guys a quick demo of the browser so we click on it and then we pull up this keyboard so we know that any website we want let's go to Google so we just type it out and of course this is an emulator so it's not exactly how it will run but just from what we know from the emulator really well so go ahead and autocompletes it so we just go and click it and open it up you see here the load is very very snappy and of course if we want to go ahead and type something on webpage we just click on the specific thing so there we go so and as you guys can see it auto zooms in so now we can search anything we want so we can search in gadget so when you punch it in and of course if you see here right here you see it actually try to autocomplete your text old slide to autocomplete slash spell check which is really really handy and of course it very nice where it allows you actually to pick it everywhere as on iphone and actually go ahead and just does it for you so we'll go ahead and just Corsa doesn't know any gadget so let's go ahead and click search so just give it just a second and now go ahead and pulls it up so let's go ahead and go to any cache you can show you guys what it looks like on a full browser or rather a full website so it does take just a moment to load but it's really quite snappy definitely I mean just from my limited hands-on with this and or just an emulator but it seems just about as fast as Internet Explorer 8 on the computer so I got to be thinking they're doing something here so it's real simple we go ahead and scroll by just clicking and dragging along we can double click go ahead and zoom in and of course it is still loading or now so it's just a little bit slow but you see here guys there's a lot of it's pretty cool here there we go so yes you can kind of see the the web browsing is it's pretty decent I mean not something hugely ahead of iPhone obviously we don't have any kind of multi-touch gestures being that this is obviously not a full thing is just the emulator but from what I can tell so far it looks really solid you know it looks the browser looks to be bad on par with the 3GS so let's go ahead and show you guys some more that just one just get it to stop loading real quick so a couple more of the features are go ahead and open up the new tab page so now you can load up a lot of new tabs go ahead and kill them or you can go ahead and add a new one so let's go ahead and add a new one now we just bring us up a new page and of course we can do every one if we want go back to the new pad tab page we can continue to load new tabs that color however long we like and there's also a favorites button so it pulled up a really really cool looking thing favorites history so we can go through here and pick whatever we want so you know you've got Amazon or whatever so let's go ahead just go ahead and click on it so right there you might have seen a little bit of the interface and you can see how it's very very similar to the Zune HD and it's a really really solid interface I like it a lot and you can see here actually close up really nice looking back out just like with any of the other tabs you go ahead so let's just jump over to our Gibbs motive tab I'm sorry Engadget tab time so let's go ahead and pull up our little drop down menu where it gives us a few things looking forward I suppose that's not working right now I'm guessing that you're going to need to wait what's the email that you go ahead and forward it and share fine on page 10 to start settings split and click on settings and see what that's about so swing the load they've not okay well it doesn't look like that's working right now and I don't think Candice starts going to work either oh wait yes okay cool I didn't know that so you can see here guys this would be the home page obviously that's very very bare right now but if we want we can go ahead and pin a website to the home page so if you want to click on it it will head and load it up in the browser we have a bunch of tabs up right now let's go ahead and kill some of them you see here it's very very slick looking interface I mean everything to do has an animation or something but yeah guys that is a quick hands-on of the Windows Phone 7 Series hate the name of the web browser obviously Internet Explorer now force isn't an emulator so we haven't actually tried it out on a real device but from what we can tell it's very very solid so I know from what I've seen here in all the videos Windows Phone 7 Series looks really really solved and I can't wait to get a real hands on actually use it on phone with the full abs everything built into it hey guys thanks for watching
