Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0 to feature new Share option for apps

Windows Phone 7.8 Share

A new menu pick in Windows Phone 7.eight for sharing apps

When nosotros covered the Windows Phone 7.viii custom ROM final calendar week in our easily on video, one affair nosotros missed that has been brought to our attention involves the Program list.

Manifestly, when you press-n-hold any third party app within the jump listing, you lot now have a new option besides the current Pin to Beginning, Rate and Review and Uninstall and that's Share.

The Share push button will presumably let you to apace pull up the Windows Phone Store link for that app and allow you lot to email, SMS or perhaps even distribute over social networks (eastward.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc). We simply do non know at this bespeak considering although the menu item is at that place, information technology does not seem to be tied to whatsoever role of the OS only however. Translation: nothing happens when nosotros printing it.

Assuming this isn't part of the custom ROM per se merely rather Windows Telephone vii.viii (and we believe that to exist the example equally it is constitute in numerous seven.eight ROMs), this appears to be yet another minor alter coming in the Bone update due after Windows Phone 8.

Speaking of, we're quite certain if this new feature is in Windows Phone 7.eight it volition surely exist in Windows Phone viii besides. Over again, while it'south not a footing breaking new addition, information technology should become a long mode in making it much easier to pass on apps to friends or colleagues. In fact, we wonder if the Windows Telephone eight version will use NFC for tap-n-pass functionality? That could exist interesting.

Thanks, Justin A., for the notice!
