Vietgame.asia – Microsoft didn’t talk much about Windows 10 Mobile at its big press event yesterday, aside from unveiling the first devices that will run it (Lumia 950, Lumia 950XL, and Lumia 550). The company did slip out a timeframe for when the new operating system would arrive for existing Windows Phone devices, via the official Lumia page on Facebook.Windows 10 Mobile is the latest version of the company’s mobile operating system. It runs universal Windows apps, meaning one app can run a variety of form factors, supports developers porting their existing Android and iOS apps with minimal modifications, and offers a new feature called “Continuum” that lets you connect an external display, mouse, and keyboard and use your phone like a PC. As with the Windows 10 upgrade for PCs, Microsoft is giving Windows Phone 8.1 users a year to upgrade free to Windows 10 Mobile.

Here is the comment on Facebook that finally gives a timeframe for the rollout:

[su_quote]Windows 10 is available on PCs and tablets now, and while Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL ship with Windows 10 for phones, broad availability of Windows 10 on other devices, including mobile phones, will begin rolling out in December. For more information on Windows 10 for Lumia, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/windows10/. For other concerns, feel free to contact our Twitter support team @LumiaHelp or visit http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mobiledevices for assistance.[/su_quote]

December will be just the start. Not all devices will be supported from the get-go, and carriers will, of course, slow down the process.

Microsoft is aiming to have 1 billion devices running Windows 10 “in two to three years,” though that includes not just PCs, but smartphones, consoles, and other devices as well. While PCs are naturally Microsoft’s biggest strength, the company is trying once again to tackle smartphones, phablets, and tablets.
