As a function essential in the daily experience, the screenshot seems to have been Microsoft's hidden for a long time , with the approaching of the Windows Phone, the function of screenshots have surfaced, although Microsoft officials have not announced this feature and foreign websites Luo listed a copy of Windows Phone list of new features not found a screenshot of figure, but with the details of outflow of the Windows Phone changes and system upgrades will increase the number of new API , and open the privileges of native code, the screenshot function I believe will be faster arrival.
Screenshots, a closer relationship with you is the screenshot exactly use those keys, which is also related to daily life, the screenshot function can normally use. What is similar to the iOS Home button + power button is generally a wide variety of all kinds of combinations of buttons with Android.

The first is mass storage mode. When Microsoft announced that they were adding support for microSD cards in Windows Phone 8, it was unclear whether they would go with the popular mass storage protocol or the media transfer protocol. Well, it seems they are going with the former, a decision .

its a welcome move from MS, as in India hardly any one cares about cloud storage.. every wants their data on the memory card... Mass Storage Mode is certainly in the way of getting more people to the platform...

I will also love to see Bluetooth file transfer from one device to another... if it is enabled then WP will surely get more users who forget about the UGLY UI it has....:p :p :p
