14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft plans a relentless assault on Android and iOS users with a multitude of apps and services that are meant to convince them to switch to Windows Phone.
A handful of unannounced applications that will probably be available on all three major platforms (Android, iOS and Windows Phone) have been recently leaked online: Flow, Office Now, Revolve and OneClip.
Now the folks over at MicrosoftInsider.es have uncovered two more applications developed by Microsoft, which haven't been announced yet.
Both are available on Windows Phone platform and there's no telling whether or not Microsoft plans to bring them to Android and/or iOS as well.
Anyway, the first one is called InstaNote and allows users to take voice notes without losing any details of the conversation. The application is published as Internal Beta and is developer by InstaNote team.
The latest version tested is 2015.309.9.5224 and it was published on March 2015, which suggests that Microsoft isn't in a hurry to finish this application for the moment.
Both apps require approval to be tested
On a side note, a more advanced version of InstaNote should allow users to save the voice notes in OneNote or share them directly on whatever social networking app you want.
The next one is called Dialer for Lync Meetings and is aimed at those who use Microsoft's service. In the future, Lync will be replaced by Skype for Business and this Dialer application will allow users to join a meeting through a voice call from a smartphone.
The application requires an active data connection to communication with the Microsoft Conference Bridge number where it automatically fills in the correct username and password.
The application gets data for scheduled meetings from the user's calendar. Dialer for Lync Meetings is useful for when users are on the move and have no data connection on their smartphones.
Both apps are works in progress, but they are active and internally tested by developers. We expect them to be soon announced by Microsoft.
