2010-10-18
hey guys this is Emily talk now calm next up we're going to look at the People Hub email calendar and office so right up here is my people tile and it's showing little tiny pictures of people in my contacts so let's press that here we get to the recent people these are people that I recently emailed or text message or a phone call so you got about eight of them are going to show up here and they're popping with their names are showing up for their status updates those are all I'm going to come up occasionally if I go over here this is all my people so I can scroll through here and see everybody or I can search and just type somebody and get right to him and this little button will add a contact so that's a quick way to add somebody you can choose which account you want to add them to and you know at all their information they're over here is the what's new feed this will show facebook and windows live updates and we got there it goes the little message icon the plus symbol that'll let you comment on those facebook updates and you can see when somebody else comments they'll show a number how many people commented on that so here we go to make a comment and that should do it there it is so that's your feet and then you're back to the recent people okay if we tap and hold what do you got settings we've already seen those okay next up let's do email which email account should I go do well I mail each email account has a separate kind of app icon that you can pin to the Start menu or it'll show up in the program's listing so here we are you got all you got in red got urgent and you got a menu so if you want to delete a bunch of these I can just tap on the side and that shows up our check marks which is really nice because they're not always there being cluttering up the interface so you can select a bunch of them and delete the trashcan or move them all on once like that optionally you can press that button and bring up the check boxes so the plus icon here we go if we bring up the menu you can see the yeah what are you check on means so there's new folders or sink so let's look at folders and by default it only syncs the inbox but if we say show all folders we can go to different folders and then i can say sink this folder and that will turn on a sink for this folder so they'll all those download the new messages for this folder you can see it's checking for messages I don't know if we want to wait so there's folder let me go to another one drafts this one does not sink at all not in hotmail nuttin I map emails not in exchange when it comes to draft messages it's either going to be on your phone or on your real email account which is a total pain because what if I started draft email on my desktop and I want to finish it on my phone sorry you're at a look no way to sync drafts that's pain okay so let's see if junk folder synced that's still working here's our settings we can do an email signature you can BCC yourself if you want to copy or send message but usually it'll copy it into the sent messages folder sent items rather there okay let's get back to the inbox I have anybody with a picture here and we the emails show up really nicely if this was from a contract that I know a big picture would show up right there and it looks really good so by default it doesn't download pictures in HTML emails which is good because exam all as one people knowing that you read this message see it says internet pictures are blocked so if I tap it then it'll download all my pictures and you can zoom out see the whole thing it works just like internet explorer all right so that's pretty good HTML lumen next let's check out the calendar so you got three views for the calendar agenda day and month you can see the month allow the little tiny tiny type in the in the days that's not meant to be readable it's just an indication of how much stuff you have going on that day so that's all that's really useful here's the day and you can do a new appointment you can't really drag the time so if you want to do a new appointment you really have to go in here and choose how long does it or would you custom you can choose the end time so that's kind of a pain if you're used to the way windows mobile classic used to where you can just drag the area that the appointment will take up okay so there's our clock and change the time and that's going to make an appointment here we can choose which account we want to add the calendar appointment to okay I'm to cancel and here we have calendars here's my windows live calendar is going to be green exchange calendar is going to be red and my google calendar will be brown so that way you can have different calendars I'll show up there all right that's it for a calendar and the office sub starts off on one note and if i do all that that this is our pages and if i do refresh it's going to if I didn't do already it would ask you if you want to sync with SkyDrive and when it does that it's going to create a notebook on SkyDrive based on your live ID called personal web and it's going to put these pages in there automatically and then you can sync that with your desktop from Sky Drive and unfortunately it will only sink that single notebook with SkyDrive for now but there's still other notebooks because you can sync with sharepoint 2010 now here's another bug well maybe it's a feature but it's a limitation nonetheless if I make a section in my notebook that is password protected like this one right here protected section it's not going to sink you're not going to be able open it it's not going to ask you for a password you're not going to be able to access it at all so that's kind of pain you can only sync unprotected window sections and when you're in the page you can pin it to your Start menu you can email it and you can refresh it this one I think okay here where and when you're editing mode you can type stuff and you got some more options down here you can create a list you can insert a picture or do an audio recording here's some formatting options unfortunately if you do an audio recording and then do something else like we're going to answer call that audio recording stops so see it's done you can't be recording all meeting and then also check an email so that's bug I released a pain next up is our documents listing and create a new document you got Excel Word or PowerPoint these are all pretty basic but they have commenting support you can say that as and send saying forward got the search you got outline mode and here's PowerPoint during the edit mode you can change some text and you can also move slides over the next one edit the notes that's pretty decent then we got the sharepoint stuff I don't have a sharepoint 2010 server but they would show up here and your SharePoint workspaces would show up here there's no tap and hold menu there that's pretty much it for office so there you go and that's it for now
