This makes it possible for developers to build apps with enhanced recognition of facial features, hand position, and more."></a>By now, most of you likely have heard about the new Kinect sensor that Microsoft will deliver as part of <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xboxone/meet-xbox-one">Xbox One</a> later this year.&#160;</p>
<p>Today, I am pleased to announce that Microsoft will also deliver a new generation Kinect for Windows sensor next year. We&#8217;re continuing our commitment to equipping businesses and organizations with the latest natural technology from Microsoft so that they, in turn, can develop and deploy innovative touch-free applications for their businesses and customers. A new Kinect for Windows sensor and software development kit (SDK) are core to that commitment.</p>
<p>Both the new Kinect sensor and the new Kinect for Windows sensor are being built on a shared set of technologies. Just as the new Kinect sensor will bring opportunities for revolutionizing gaming and entertainment, the new Kinect for Windows sensor will revolutionize computing experiences. The precision and intuitive responsiveness that the new platform provides will accelerate the development of voice and gesture experiences on computers.</p>
<p>Some of the key capabilities of the new Kinect sensor include:</p>
<ul><li>Higher fidelity<br>The new sensor includes a high-definition (HD) color camera as well as a new noise-isolating multi-microphone array that filters ambient sounds to recognize natural speaking voices even in crowded rooms. Also included is Microsoft&#8217;s proprietary Time-of-Flight technology, which measures the time it takes individual photons to rebound off an object or person to create unprecedented accuracy and precision. All of this means that the new sensor recognizes precise motions and details, such as slight wrist rotation, body position, and even the wrinkles in your clothes. The Kinect for Windows community will benefit from the sensor&#8217;s enhanced fidelity, which will allow developers to create highly accurate solutions that see a person&#8217;s form better than ever, track objects and environments with greater detail, and understand voice commands in noisier settings than before.</li>
</ul><p><span><img title="The enhanced fidelity and depth perception of the new Kinect sensor will allow developers to create apps that see a person's form better, track objects with greater detail, and understand voice commands in noisier settings." src="http://blogs.msdn.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/503x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-49-02/6318.New_2D00_Kinect_2D00_FidelityDepth_5F00_503px.jpg" alt="The enhanced fidelity and depth perception of the new Kinect sensor will allow developers to create apps that see a person's form better, track objects with greater detail, and understand voice commands in noisier settings."><br></span><span>The enhanced fidelity and depth perception of the new Kinect sensor will allow developers to <br>create&#160;apps that see a person's form better, track objects with greater detail, and understand <br>voice commands in noisier settings.</span></p>
<ul><li>Expanded field of view<br>The expanded field of view accommodates a multitude of differently sized rooms, minimizing the need to modify existing room configurations and opening up new solution-development opportunities. The combination of the new sensor&#8217;s higher fidelity plus expanded field of view will give businesses the tools they need to create truly untethered, natural computing experiences such as clicker-free presentation scenarios, more dynamic simulation and training solutions, up-close interactions, more fluid gesture recognition for quick interactions on the go, and much more.<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</li>
<li>Improved skeletal tracking<br>The new sensor tracks more points on the human body than previously, including the tip of the hand and thumb,&#160;and tracks&#160;six skeletons at once. This not only yields more accurate skeletal tracking, it opens up a range of new scenarios, including improved &#8220;avateering,&#8221; the ability to develop enhanced rehabilitation and physical fitness solutions, and the possibility to create new experiences in public spaces&#8212;such as retail&#8212;where multiple users&#160;can participate simultaneously.</li>
</ul><p><span><img title='The new sensor tracks more points on the human body than previously and tracks six skeletons at once, opening a range of new scenarios, from improved "avateering" to experiences in which multiple users can participate simultaneously.

This opens up a range of new scenarios, from improved <br>"avateering" to experiences in which multiple users can participate simultaneously.</span>&#160;&#160;</p>
<ul><li>New active infrared (IR)<br>The all-new active-IR capabilities allow the new sensor to work in nearly any lighting condition and, in essence, give businesses access to a new fourth sensor: audio, depth, color&#8230;and now active IR. This will offer developers better built-in recognition capabilities in different real-world settings&#8212;independent of the lighting conditions&#8212;including the sensor&#8217;s ability to recognize facial features, hand position, and more.&#160;</li>
</ul><p>I&#8217;m sure many of you want to know more. Stay tuned; at BUILD 2013 in June, we&#8217;ll share details about how developers and designers can begin to prepare to adopt these new technologies so that their apps and experiences are ready for general availability next year.</p>
<p>A new Kinect for Windows era is coming: an era of unprecedented responsiveness and precision.</p>

<ul>
<li>Expanded field of view<br />The expanded field of view accommodates a multitude of differently sized rooms, minimizing the need to modify existing room configurations and opening up new solution-development opportunities. The combination of the new sensor’s higher fidelity plus expanded field of view will give businesses the tools they need to create truly untethered, natural computing experiences such as clicker-free presentation scenarios, more dynamic simulation and training solutions, up-close interactions, more fluid gesture recognition for quick interactions on the go, and much more.<br />    </li>
<li>Improved skeletal tracking<br />The new sensor tracks more points on the human body than previously, including the tip of the hand and thumb, and tracks six skeletons at once. This not only yields more accurate skeletal tracking, it opens up a range of new scenarios, including improved “avateering,” the ability to develop enhanced rehabilitation and physical fitness solutions, and the possibility to create new experiences in public spaces—such as retail—where multiple users can participate simultaneously.</li>

<ul>
<li>New active infrared (IR)<br />The all-new active-IR capabilities allow the new sensor to work in nearly any lighting condition and, in essence, give businesses access to a new fourth sensor: audio, depth, color…and now active IR. This will offer developers better built-in recognition capabilities in different real-world settings—independent of the lighting conditions—including the sensor’s ability to recognize facial features, hand position, and more. </li>
</ul>
<p>I’m sure many of you want to know more. Stay tuned; at BUILD 2013 in June, we’ll share details about how developers and designers can begin to prepare to adopt these new technologies so that their apps and experiences are ready for general availability next year.</p>
<p>A new Kinect for Windows era is coming: an era of unprecedented responsiveness and precision.</p>

<hr><p>Testing your app throughout the development process helps to ensure that your app has a high level of performance and quality. Testing also helps to make sure your app is effectively represented in the Windows Phone Store. A small investment in the key areas described in this post can give your app positive results in your market, and help bypass common errors early in the development process. This document will outline testing approaches for key test areas that you should consider.</p>
<h4>Beta testing</h4>
<p>After you have thoroughly tested your app using the emulator and on a Windows Phone device, it&#8217;s important to also test your app as a beta app. Submit your beta app for beta distribution, where you can continue to test your app based on the beta and code flow experience. Additionally, you can include beta tester to help review your app. For more info, see <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windowsphone/help/jj215598(v=vs.105).aspx">Beta testing your app and in-app products</a>.</p>
<h4>Installation and launch</h4>
<p>Testing your app&#8217;s install and launch process is a vital area that can often be overlooked. By following these steps, you can minimize installation and launch issues that are not handled by your app. There are a few scenarios to consider when testing the initial launch experience and resume paths scenarios. One of these is the new Windows Phone 8 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windowsphone/develop/jj735579(v=vs.105).aspx">fast app resume</a><b></b>scenario that a Windows Phone 8 app can opt into.</p>
<p>The following tests can help verify your app&#8217;s install, launch, and resume functions.</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tbody><tr><td width="239" valign="top">
<p><b>Test scenario</b></p>
</td>
<td width="359" valign="top">
<p><b>Details</b></p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td width="239" valign="top">
<p>1. Verify the app on the first launch.</p>
</td>
<td width="359" valign="top">
<p>Note any End User License Agreement (EULA) and any other one-time notifications that appear in the launch UI.</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td width="239" valign="top">
<p>2. Reinstall the app.</p>
</td>
<td width="359" valign="top">
<p>Verify that all one-time notifications appear again on a subsequent install and launch.</p>
</td>
</tr><tr><td width="239" valign="top">
<p>3. Start the app, and then return to the Windows Phone Start screen.</p>
</td>
<td width="359" valign="top">
<p>Launch the app again from a Live Tile, or from the phone&#8217;s App list.<b></b></p>
<p>&#183; Verify the default scenario, in which the old app is terminated, and a new instance of the app starts.<b></b></p>
<p>&#183; For Windows Phone 8 apps, if the app uses <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windowsphone/develop/jj735579(v=vs.105).aspx">fast app resume for Windows Phone 8</a>, in which ActivationPolicy="Resume", then the app resumes instead of starting a new instance. Verify that the app returns to the correct page in the app.</p>
</td>
</tr></tbody></table><h4>Fast Application Switching (FAS) and tombstoning</h4>
<p>When a Windows Phone app is moved to the back stack based on the app&#8217;s navigation history, the app is suspended. When the app resumes, it returns to the foreground. Apps on the back stack are tombstoned when there is resource pressure on the device. The exception occurs when <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj681691(v=vs.105).aspx">running location-tracking apps in the background for Windows Phone 8</a>. Windows Phone 8 location-tracking apps continue to run in this scenario. Your app needs to handle both of these cases, and you should test this function in your app. FAS occurs when the user leaves the app to go to <b>Start</b>, <b>Search</b>, or some other path based on the launchers and choosers you&#8217;ve used in your app to support navigation. For more info, see <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh202866(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_FastApplicationSwitching">Multitasking for Windows Phone</a> and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff817008(v=vs.105).aspx">App activation and deactivation for Windows Phone</a>.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<img width="730" height="396" src="http://www.istartedsomething.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/facebook1.jpg" alt="facebook"><p>The <a href="http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2013/04/30/join-the-facebook-for-windows-phone-beta-app-program.aspx">Windows Phone team today announced on its blog</a> that they public a <a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/facebook-beta/93da5d29-daf0-4783-9ed5-a87b33247ec6?appid=93da5d29-daf0-4783-9ed5-a87b33247ec6">beta version of the Facebook Windows Phone app</a> to test with users new features (and a new user interface) before rolling it out to the general public.</p>
<ul><li>The new UI makes a departure from the traditional Windows Phone panoramic &#38; pivot controls to more traditional page navigation structures found on iOS and Android.</li>
<li>The app is much more aligned with the current Facebook iOS and Android apps, using the slide-out sidebar mechanisms on the left and right side for navigation and chat list respectively, and even pull-to-refresh!</li>
<li>Having said that, the visual styling is still heavily Metro-inspired with the iconic flat icons, Segoe UI and appbar control.</li>
<li>It also seems to bring feature-parity to the Windows Phone app which has long been lacking in minor but sometimes useful features. (Previously it was necessary to use web touch.facebook.com in some cases)</li>
<li>I believe This hybrid &#8220;ported-UI&#8221; and Metro is a better balance of functionality and Metro-ness than the previous version.</li>
<li>There are still missing features that isn&#8217;t iOS-parity, for example the ability to tag friends in comments by typing their name.</li>
<li>I think for well-established brands &#38; apps like Facebook, &#8220;ported-UIs&#8221; will make it much easier for these companies to deliver and maintain feature-parity apps on the Windows Phone platform. A completely unique Metro experience puts a lot of burden on design and engineering that is consistently hard to justify at a cost-basis in relations to market share.</li>
<li>International users won&#8217;t be able to download the <a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/facebook-beta/93da5d29-daf0-4783-9ed5-a87b33247ec6?appid=93da5d29-daf0-4783-9ed5-a87b33247ec6">US version</a> but by simply changing the URL (ex. en-US to <a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/en-au/store/app/facebook-beta/93da5d29-daf0-4783-9ed5-a87b33247ec6?appid=93da5d29-daf0-4783-9ed5-a87b33247ec6">en-AU</a>) you should be able to download it in different regions.</li>

<p>D&#8217;un point de vue &#171;&#160;informatique&#160;&#187;, une petite PME ou une TPE ou les professions lib&#233;rales sont des entreprises&#160; qui n&#8217;ont souvent pas d&#8217;informatique g&#233;r&#233;e, pas de serveurs, un parc de machines&#160; h&#233;t&#233;roclites avec souvent une utilisation de PC ou de smartphone personnels dans un contexte professionnel (du BYOD).</p>
<p>Nous allons voir dans cet article quelles sont les fonctionnalit&#233;s de Windows Phone 8 gratuites, utiles et indispensables aux&#160; TPE et aux petites PME et qui souvent sont souvent m&#233;connues :</p>
<ul><li>Un GPS complet,</li>
<li>Le partage d&#8217;acc&#232;s Internet,</li>
<li>Les diff&#233;rentes synchronisations et sauvegardes dans le &#171;&#160;cloud&#160;&#187;,</li>
<li>La suite Office,</li>
<li>Les Salons,</li>
<li>Un syst&#232;me de localisation &#224; distance du t&#233;l&#233;phone en cas de perte.</li>
</ul><h2>Un GPS complet</h2>
<p>L&#8217;application Here+ (anciennement Nokia Drive) est une application de navigation vocale &#160;avec une interface ax&#233;e sur les conducteurs. Install&#233;e sur un t&#233;l&#233;phone Nokia les cartes du monde entier sont t&#233;l&#233;chargeables gratuitement.</p>
<p>Pour les autres t&#233;l&#233;phones l&#8217;application <em><strong>Here +</strong></em> est t&#233;l&#233;chargeable gratuitement avec une cartographie limit&#233;e &#224; la France (pour les t&#233;l&#233;phones en France).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-fr/store/app/here-drive-beta/9a0f7585-9f16-47d5-8041-28018fcea606"><strong>Rendez-vous sur le store pour installer cette application.</strong></a></p>
<p>Ce &#171;&#160;GPS&#160;&#187; remplace facilement un appareil d&#233;di&#233; et permet en plus avec la fonction recherche&#160; de <em><strong>Here +</strong></em> de combiner la recherche d&#8217;adresse sur Internet avant de d&#233;buter&#160; le guidage.</p>
<p>Avec ce syst&#232;me, &#160;impossible de vous perde lors de vos tourn&#233;es commerciales ou en route vers un rendez-vous professionnel.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/files/2013/04/PNG6.jpg?fe0721"><img alt="PNG6" src="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/files/2013/04/PNG6-1024x414.jpg?fe0721" width="1024" height="414"></a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h2>Le partage d&#8217;acc&#232;s Internet</h2>
<p>En d&#233;placement, sur la route, &#224; l&#8217;h&#244;tel si vous avez besoin d&#8217;une connexion Internet pour votre PC ou votre tablette, vous pouvez convertir votre Windows Phone en point d&#8217;acc&#232;s mobile en partageant votre connexion de donn&#233;es via Wi-Fi.</p>
<p>Tous les t&#233;l&#233;phones Windows Phone 8 permettent en effet de partager leur connexion Internet avec votre ordinateur portable ou votre tablette&#160;? &#160;5 appareils au maximum peuvent ainsi &#234;tre connect&#233;s &#224; Internet par ce biais. <strong><a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-fr/how-to/wp8/start/share-my-connection">La mani&#232;re d&#8217;activer cette fonction en quelques clics est d&#233;crite ici sur cette page.</a></strong></p>
<p>NB&#160;: Cette fonction se d&#233;sactive automatiquement apr&#232;s un certain d&#233;lai d&#8217;inactivit&#233; afin de pr&#233;server l&#8217;autonomie de la batterie du t&#233;l&#233;phone.</p>
<p><span><a href="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/files/2013/04/PME-5.jpg?fe0721"><img alt="PME-5" src="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/files/2013/04/PME-5.jpg?fe0721" width="490" height="397"></a></span></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Les diff&#233;rentes synchronisations et sauvegardes de Windows Phone dans le cloud</h2>
<p>Vous pouvez activer 3 types de sauvegarde dans le menu <em><strong>param&#232;tres\sauvegarde&#160;</strong></em>:</p>
<h3>La sauvegarde &#171;&#160;des listes des applications + param&#232;tres&#160;&#187;</h3>
<p>Cette fonction vous permet de gagner du temps dans le cas de remplacement de votre t&#233;l&#233;phone (temporaire ou d&#233;finitif) la configuration de votre t&#233;l&#233;phone, vos comptes mails et vos applications install&#233;s arrivent automatiquement sur votre nouveau t&#233;l&#233;phone.</p>
<h3>La sauvegarde des SMS</h3>
<p>Cette fonction vous permet aussi de gagner du temps dans lecas de remplacement de votre t&#233;l&#233;phone (temporaire ou d&#233;finitif) vous retrouverez vos SMS automatiquement sur votre nouveau t&#233;l&#233;phone (si vous utilisez le m&#234;me copte Microsoft sur le nouveau t&#233;l&#233;phone) et vous pouvez reprendre ainsi vos conversations SMS tr&#232;s rapidement.</p>
<p>NB&#160;; Si vous utilisez 2 Windows Phone avec le compte Microsoft les SMS seront dupliqu&#233;s entre es 2 t&#233;l&#233;phones.</p>
<p>NB&#160;: Bien que les sauvegardes des SMS et de la configuration du t&#233;l&#233;phone soient stock&#233;es dans votre espace Skydrive, elles ne sont pas accessibles via<strong> <a href="http://www.skydrive.com/">l&#8217;interface Skydrive&#160;</a>.</strong></p>
<h3>La sauvegarde des photos</h3>
<p>La sauvegarde automatique de photos sur Skydrive permet de partager imm&#233;diatement les photos prises avec votre Windows Phone pour permettre par exemple l&#8217;utilisation ou le traitement des photos que vous avez prises &#171;&#160;sur le terrain&#160;&#187; par votre &#233;quipe ou vos collaborateurs.</p>
<p>NB Les photos t&#233;l&#233;charg&#233;es sur Skydrive par votre t&#233;l&#233;phones sont accessible par<strong><a href="http://www.skydrive.com/"> l&#8217;interface Skydrive </a></strong> ou directement sur votre PC si vous avez install&#233; le client&#160;&#160;<em><strong>Skydrive for Windows</strong></em> (<strong><a href="http://www.skydrive.com/">installable depuis la rubrique</a> </strong><em><strong>PC</strong></em>&#160; du site).</p>

<p>NB&#160;: (Pour les &#171;&#160;Geeks&#160;&#187;Le syst&#232;me de sauvegarde de SMS et de configuration de t&#233;l&#233;phone vous permet de g&#233;rer plusieurs configurations de t&#233;l&#233;phone et donc de &#171;&#160;jongler&#160;&#187; avec plusieurs configurations et plusieurs t&#233;l&#233;phones.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<h2>La suite Office et les connexions &#224; Office 365</h2>
<p>Encore un point souvent m&#233;connu, votre Windows Phone contient une suite Office (Word, Excel, Power Point, one Note) compl&#232;te. <a href="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/profitez-doffice-sur-votre-windows-phone.html"><strong>Ses fonctionnalit&#233;s et son utilisation sont d&#233;crites dans cet article de blog</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/six-fonctionnalites-windows-phone-8-pour-les-tpe-et-les-petites-pme.html"><em>Cliquer ici pour voir la vid&#233;o.</em></a></p>
<h2>Les Salons</h2>
<p>Les salons simplifient l&#8217;acc&#232;s aux contacts et vous permettent de rester en relation avec les personnes qui comptent le plus pour vous (famille, voisins, membres de club). Les salons vous permettent de converser et de partager des &#233;l&#233;ments avec les personnes que vous invitez.</p>
<p>Cette fonctionnalit&#233; peut aussi &#234;tre utilis&#233;e dans le cadre d&#8217;une &#233;quipe de travail. Vous pouvez avoir jusqu&#8217;&#224; 5 salons comptant chacun jusqu&#8217;&#224; 10 membres afin de partager un calendrier des documents et des messages.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-FR/how-to/wp8/people/use-rooms-and-groups"><strong>L&#8217;utilisation des salons est d&#233;crite ici.</strong></a></p>
<h2>Un syst&#232;me de localisation &#224; distance du t&#233;l&#233;phone en cas de perte</h2>
<p>Si votre t&#233;l&#233;phone est par exemple &#233;gar&#233; chez un client ou oubli&#233; quelque part dans votre bureau ou votre domicile, il est possible de le localiser sur une carte, de le faire sonner, de le verrouiller, voire d&#8217;effacer les donn&#233;es &#224; distance si besoin.</p>
<p>Il suffit d&#8217;aller sur la page <strong><a href="https://www.windowsphone.com/fr-fr/my/find?signin=true">Localiser mon t&#233;l&#233;phone</a></strong> du site Windows Phone en se connectant avec votre (compte Microsoft) puis de choisir l&#8217;option &#171;&#160;mon t&#233;l&#233;phone&#160;&#187; localiser mon t&#233;l&#233;phone et de vous laisser guider.</p>

<p>D’un point de vue « informatique », une petite PME ou une TPE ou les professions libérales sont des entreprises  qui n’ont souvent pas d’informatique gérée, pas de serveurs, un parc de machines  hétéroclites avec souvent une utilisation de PC ou de smartphone personnels dans un contexte professionnel (du BYOD).</p>
<p>Nous allons voir dans cet article quelles sont les fonctionnalités de Windows Phone 8 gratuites, utiles et indispensables aux  TPE et aux petites PME et qui souvent sont souvent méconnues :</p>
<ul>
<li>Un GPS complet,</li>
<li>Le partage d’accès Internet,</li>
<li>Les différentes synchronisations et sauvegardes dans le « cloud »,</li>
<li>La suite Office,</li>
<li>Les Salons,</li>
<li>Un système de localisation à distance du téléphone en cas de perte.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Un GPS complet</h2>
<p>L’application Here+ (anciennement Nokia Drive) est une application de navigation vocale  avec une interface axée sur les conducteurs. Installée sur un téléphone Nokia les cartes du monde entier sont téléchargeables gratuitement.</p>
<p>Pour les autres téléphones l’application <em><strong>Here +</strong></em> est téléchargeable gratuitement avec une cartographie limitée à la France (pour les téléphones en France).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-fr/store/app/here-drive-beta/9a0f7585-9f16-47d5-8041-28018fcea606"><strong>Rendez-vous sur le store pour installer cette application.</strong></a></p>

<h2>Le partage d’accès Internet</h2>
<p>En déplacement, sur la route, à l’hôtel si vous avez besoin d’une connexion Internet pour votre PC ou votre tablette, vous pouvez convertir votre Windows Phone en point d’accès mobile en partageant votre connexion de données via Wi-Fi.</p>
<p>Tous les téléphones Windows Phone 8 permettent en effet de partager leur connexion Internet avec votre ordinateur portable ou votre tablette ?  5 appareils au maximum peuvent ainsi être connectés à Internet par ce biais. <strong><a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-fr/how-to/wp8/start/share-my-connection">La manière d’activer cette fonction en quelques clics est décrite ici sur cette page.</a></strong></p>
<p>NB : Cette fonction se désactive automatiquement après un certain délai d’inactivité afin de préserver l’autonomie de la batterie du téléphone.</p>

<h2>Les différentes synchronisations et sauvegardes de Windows Phone dans le cloud</h2>
<p>Vous pouvez activer 3 types de sauvegarde dans le menu <em><strong>paramètres\sauvegarde </strong></em>:</p>

<h3>La sauvegarde des SMS</h3>
<p style="padding-left:30px">Cette fonction vous permet aussi de gagner du temps dans lecas de remplacement de votre téléphone (temporaire ou définitif) vous retrouverez vos SMS automatiquement sur votre nouveau téléphone (si vous utilisez le même copte Microsoft sur le nouveau téléphone) et vous pouvez reprendre ainsi vos conversations SMS très rapidement.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px">NB ; Si vous utilisez 2 Windows Phone avec le compte Microsoft les SMS seront dupliqués entre es 2 téléphones.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px">NB : Bien que les sauvegardes des SMS et de la configuration du téléphone soient stockées dans votre espace Skydrive, elles ne sont pas accessibles via<strong> <a href="http://www.skydrive.com/">l’interface Skydrive </a>.</strong></p>
<h3>La sauvegarde des photos</h3>
<p style="padding-left:30px">La sauvegarde automatique de photos sur Skydrive permet de partager immédiatement les photos prises avec votre Windows Phone pour permettre par exemple l’utilisation ou le traitement des photos que vous avez prises « sur le terrain » par votre équipe ou vos collaborateurs.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px">NB Les photos téléchargées sur Skydrive par votre téléphones sont accessible par<strong><a href="http://www.skydrive.com/"> l’interface Skydrive </a></strong> ou directement sur votre PC si vous avez installé le client  <em><strong>Skydrive for Windows</strong></em> (<strong><a href="http://www.skydrive.com/">installable depuis la rubrique</a> </strong><em><strong>PC</strong></em>  du site).</p>

<p> </p>
<h2>La suite Office et les connexions à Office 365</h2>
<p>Encore un point souvent méconnu, votre Windows Phone contient une suite Office (Word, Excel, Power Point, one Note) complète. <a href="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/profitez-doffice-sur-votre-windows-phone.html"><strong>Ses fonctionnalités et son utilisation sont décrites dans cet article de blog</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.microsoft.fr/windowsphone/six-fonctionnalites-windows-phone-8-pour-les-tpe-et-les-petites-pme.html"><em>Cliquer ici pour voir la vidéo.</em></a></p>
<h2>Les Salons</h2>
<p>Les salons simplifient l’accès aux contacts et vous permettent de rester en relation avec les personnes qui comptent le plus pour vous (famille, voisins, membres de club). Les salons vous permettent de converser et de partager des éléments avec les personnes que vous invitez.</p>
<p>Cette fonctionnalité peut aussi être utilisée dans le cadre d’une équipe de travail. Vous pouvez avoir jusqu’à 5 salons comptant chacun jusqu’à 10 membres afin de partager un calendrier des documents et des messages.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/fr-FR/how-to/wp8/people/use-rooms-and-groups"><strong>L’utilisation des salons est décrite ici.</strong></a></p>
<h2>Un système de localisation à distance du téléphone en cas de perte</h2>
<p>Si votre téléphone est par exemple égaré chez un client ou oublié quelque part dans votre bureau ou votre domicile, il est possible de le localiser sur une carte, de le faire sonner, de le verrouiller, voire d’effacer les données à distance si besoin.</p>
<p>Il suffit d’aller sur la page <strong><a href="https://www.windowsphone.com/fr-fr/my/find?signin=true">Localiser mon téléphone</a></strong> du site Windows Phone en se connectant avec votre (compte Microsoft) puis de choisir l’option « mon téléphone » localiser mon téléphone et de vous laisser guider.</p>
