Microsoft Releases OneApp Service Targeting Non-Smartphones
25 Aug 2009
Microsoft announced its OneApp service which promises to bring smartphone like abilities to feature phones.
OneApp appears on a phone as a single application that allows users to easily access all of their mobile apps. It dynamically launches just the parts of an app that a person wants to use, eliminating additional installation time and the need to store all of their mobile apps on their phone.
OneApp will enable users to run various subsidiary applications under it that include things like Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Twitter and Mobile Wallet. It's a pretty small app at just 150KB. The add-on apps are just 30KB in size and hence should fit in most feature phones of today.
Tim McDonough, Microsoft's senior director of Mobile Product Management said that if you don't own a PC, or you share a PC, your mobile phone may be your first or only computing device.
