This redesign may be enough to bring Microsoft back as a major player in the mobile game.Windows Phone 7 Series uses hubs that bring together content from the web, apps, and services into a single view. There are six hubs built into the themes that come with the phones.

  • The People hub is for those who love social media and want all their feeds available to them. They can post updates to Facebook and Windows Live in one quick step.
  • The Pictures hub brings together phones and makes it easy to share them with social media networks.
  • The Games hub will bring the Xbox LIVE experience directly to the phone. Users will be able to see their avatar, achievements, and game profile.

    Hey guys, like the blog. I have a quick question that I need some advice on. I really enjoy playing Xbox360 online but as anyone that plays online quickly realizes xbox live cards can be expensive especially for a teenager still living at home. I would like to know what some of the drawbaks of using a xbox live code generator would be. I would really like to discuss both the moral and legal issues that could possibly pop up. I mean I understand that my account can be terminated but what else can happen? Thank you for reading and I’m anxious to see the debates on my dilema.
