hey there this is Adam Lane for packing.com I'm going to show you something new about Windows Phone 8 let's check it out alright in this video we're gonna take a look at Internet Explorer email the company hub and messenger on Windows Phone 8 so right now I'm in Internet Explorer 10 and we're running an html5 test and we're getting what around 60 frames per second on the fish animation I can go back and we can try another one and you can see how smooth this is so let's look at some of the new options we have customization options your settings we can do obviously mobile version a desktop version as the priority and we can choose what the button next to the address bar is going to do so you can choose tabs stop refresh or favorites so I'm gonna choose tabs and there you see my tabs button and it shows a number of tabs that are open so I really like that being able to quickly switch to a different tab and you can see scrolling sometimes goes blank a little bit let's try that maybe wasn't finished loading there we go see we good a little bit of performance issues but consuming very very quick now say you're looking at this page and then you get home and you want to kind of review it on a larger screen I'm gonna hit the menu I'm gonna hit share page and now I have Xbox so from there I can just send this webpage to the Xbox you know connected to a large screen and there we go you can also do NFC transfers of course there's email messaging and social networks and you get the usual sharing page now let's look at some emails here's my email live tile here you can see a preview of one of the new messages and from here we see it conforms to the theme now I can choose not to do that if I want I can use a light background and when I read them it oddly goes back to a white background anyway and multiple languages work just fine but here's a cool new feature if I'm in the body of an email I have a speech button how are you doing what's new how are you doing with sniff what's new voice-recognition not always perfect but there you go it's there next up let's look at a sample company hub now Microsoft sent this to us as a reviewers to try out and as well as so that they could send us some pre-release apps without having to publish them in the marketplace so that's a pretty cool way to share company apps that you really don't want to be public and here is a fake company hub that Microsoft made for us and there's our app listing that can just tap to install whichever ones I want see most of them are installed already it's just a sample of you know what kind of company hub somebody might want to put together there's some news there's some alerts none of that is real but you can see how it works so that's a pretty neat feature a lot of businesses are probably gonna like that and lastly let's look at the messaging there's a couple little updates we still have the Facebook and Windows Live Messenger chat fully integrated and we can also now attach some new things so here's our attachments I can do picture and video just like tango but now I can do my location so that's going to add an app and when people get it they'll get a link to a little web page with the location is showing you can also attach contacts now if you want to send somebody contact information so there you have a quick look at Internet Explorer the email program a company hub sample and the new messenger on Windows Phone 8 be sure to give this video a thumbs up and that's it for now
