Windows Phone 7 as the latest mobile platform from Microsoft has designed to run on a wide range of screen resolutions,form factors and platforms. The phone which run Windows Phone 7 must be meet hardware requirements, device classes, and chassis specifications.

Windows Phone 7 essentially designed to focus on a class devices. Each class will defined by a set of hardware specs for a chassis. However, there is a baseline set of Hardware components required, on top of which the chassis specs are applied. They are:

- ARMv7 based applications processor (compare this to ARMv4 for Windows Mobile 6.x)
- Hardware accelerated DirectX and Direct3D (compositing is a big feature in WP7 and without hardware accelerator won’t run at an acceptable framerate)
- Capacitive multi-touch screen
- Camera
- Bluetooth + WiFi
- FM Radio
- A-GPS
- Accelerometer, compass, light, proximity sensor

Fortunately, Microsoft provides a set of built-in drivers for these components (1 driver for each component), to simplify the development process for the OEM. The OEM is not required to use these exact components but doing so means they don’t have to spend time developing drivers for them (MSFT provides source and PDD bits) – so these are likely to be the components we find in first-generation Windows Phone 7 devices. There is currently one main development platform and that is the QSD8x50 (snapdragon).

These components are in what’s termed the “Silicon Catalog”, and they are:

- Accelerometer – Bosch – BMA 150
- Compass – Yamaha – YAS529
- Ambient Light Sensor – Capella – CM3612
- Proximity Sensor – Capella – CM3612
- WiFi – Atheros – 6002
- FM Radio – SiLabs – 4705
- Digital Camera – Aptina – MT9P012 (5MP)
- Capacitive Touch Controller – Cypress Semiconductor – 301x series

The first chassis to be targeted for initial release is the “Performance Chassis” – adding on top of these base requirements a WVGA screen.

Other chassis will follow after the initial release – hopefully, a higher class/chassis added later. Currently it run 192 DPI for WVGA and the current WP7 build has support for 262 DPI so we can more than likely expect to see larger “tablet” styled devices later.

Chrome versus internet explorer at war and Google immediately reacted quickly after the end of last week reported Microsoft to delete all the Chrome browser on Windows users, because it is considered as malware.

The new version of Chrome is “stable” and “beta” has just been released Saturday, a day after Microsoft’s antivirus products identify Chrome as Zeus botnet Trojans, and remove “chrome.exe” files on a PC some users of Windows.

Although Microsoft re-released antiviral file several hours after tens of Chrome users reported that they were not able to reinstall the browser or that if they had, they have lost their browser bookmarks.

“The team has made improvements to the Chrome beta Stabel and for users who may accidentally deleted which is the impact of Microsoft’s antivirus Essentials,” a spokesman for Chrome, as reported by PC Advisor.

“We are launching this new update so assuming the tools are updated and they receive a new Chrome exe, so that their browser will be restored,” he added.

Microsoft has not answered questions about the impact of errors on the bookmark Chrome, but Google is implicitly saying that this is caused by the user mistakenly checked the box during the installation process manually.

Previously, Microsoft explained that their antivirus software inadvertently detect the Chrome browser as malware.

The user that deleted his or her browser had a lot of complaining on Twitter. “Good for Microsoft, a good way to clear the browser competition. Curious, how many affected by this, “one of Twitter users.

So, just wait the next info Chrome versus internet explorer at war.

Download Firefox version 7 already exist and It’s actually a long time since we rarely use Firefox’s memory problems in the tables that make a computer like this might be problematic but this time we are ready to try again.

Firefox has officially released Firefox version 7 which has some improvements but the most important is what the first points they were written in this release.

There are so many points, the first written by Firefox is “Drastically improved memory handling for Certain use cases” and this makes us would try to reconcile with Firefox.

Looks like Firefox is also aware of this problem so that is the first point to make anyone a trauma (like us) want to try again.

The question is, is it true that Firefox 7.0 is now free from the problem of how much memory is used?

From the initial tests we tried, if previously we were using version 6, when it opened 8 Web at the same time, memory usage shows about 200 MB of it in version 7 with the same number of web-only about 170 MB. Well, it’s a good start early anyway!

To speed our own taste is not much different between the Opera (11:51 version) and Chrome (beta version 15.0.874.24-m).

If curious, you can try here to download Firefox version 7.
