Microsoft Is Developing Software That Converts Android Phones To Windows 10

Microsoft dropped an interesting piece of information today amid its confirmation that Windows 10 will go on sale this summer.

Near the end of its announcement, the Redmond-based company casually revealed that it is testing Windows 10 with “power users” of Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 4 Android smartphone. The initiative, which Xiaomi stressed is not a partnership but merely assistance with the trial, is an interesting one because it again shows Microsoft’s new ‘platform agnostic’ approach.

Neither Microsoft nor Xiaomi provided specific details of the Windows 10 software being trialled, but TechCrunch understands from sources that it effectively overrides Android, turning the Xiaomi phone into a Windows 10 device complete with Microsoft services. (Which the company hopes will dazzle Android owners into making the switch.)

That’s to say that the software doesn’t offer a dual boot option, which Microsoft has pushed in the past in India. This is a ROM, based on Windows, that operates much like software from Cyanogen — a company Microsoft was incorrectly linked with an investment in— and other custom ROMs developed by the likes of Tencent and Baidu in China.

The ROM is thus designed to go beyond Microsoft’s Android apps and offer a native-like Windows experience on Android phones.

That’s a pretty powerful concept, and it is no surprise to see Microsoft testing it in China, where consumers are more inclined to install ROMs. There’s a greater spirit of customization in China, particularly for Android users since third-party app stores are the norm as Google Play is severely restricted there.

Microsoft, of course, has big plans to make this software available on more devices in time.The company told The Next Web that full availability will be announced soon (update: full statement below), but it is starting out with Xiaomi — almost certainly because it has a strong community of users who provide feedback on the company’s weekly software updates. Xiaomi’s receptive audience is ideal for such a pilot.

A good idea though it may be, getting adoption for an Android ROM in China is no easy thing. Just ask Baidu, which recently shuttered its Android software efforts due to low interest — that’s despite the company’s vast reach and distribution potential as ‘China’s Google’.

As for Xiaomi, people are often quick to rush to the idea that it is at odds with Google since it doesn’t offer the U.S. company’s services on in MIUI platform in China. Xiaomi’s emphatic comment that its involvement in Windows 10 is not a partnership — coupled with Hugo Barra recent explanation that it is not pushing its suite of services to users outside of China — suggests that this is not tactical; Xiaomi is just giving it users another ROM to tinker with.

The news could be taken in a cynical way in the U.S. — where what’s good for the users is often convenient because it’s good for the business too — but Xiaomi really has cultivated a sizable and trusted community, so we’re inclined to believe its rhetoric on this occasion.

Google gearing up for a 'massive' move: Trader

Google shares have trailed the broader market and megacap tech names like Apple and Facebook in particular, but Cowen & Co.'s David Seaburg says the stock is about to go on a massive run.

"Google doesn't get the bragging rights," Seaburg said in an interview webcast released Tuesday by CNBC's "Trading Nation." "But if you look at the ecosystem, they're everywhere."

YouTube, Google Search, Google Play, Google Maps and Gmail account for 5 out of the top 10 performing applications for unique visitors (as of June), and are projected to continue reaching new users through January 2016, according to Cowen.

In a recent note, Cowen upgraded Google to outperform and upped its price target to $681 per share, roughly 20 percent higher than current levels, citing strong long-term potential from search, YouTube and Google Play.

"This is a cheap stock," said Seaburg, head of Cowen's sales trading. "A sum of the parts analysis alone suggests the enterprise value of Google Search is $385 billion." Seaburg noted that the value effectively reflects the total value of the entire company.

"Basically, at current levels, you're paying for search and getting everything else for free."

All this has Seaburg thinking Google's on the cusp of doing something it has never done: pay a dividend. And that alone, says Seaburg, is reason to get long the stock.

"This will allow [Google] to really return capital to shareholders," he said. "That will create a massive uptick and the stock could hit $680 per share."

Google X Boss Says Company Should Have Curbed Glass Hype

San Francisco: Google Inc was wrong to let expectations about its Glass wearable gadget get overheated, the head of the Google X research lab said on Tuesday.

The Internet company did not do enough to make clear that the $1,500 computer that mounts to a pair of eyeglasses was merely a prototype and not a finished product, Google's Astro Teller said during a talk at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin.

"We allowed and sometimes even encouraged too much attention for the programme," said Teller, whose official title at Google is Captain of Moonshots, during a talk that focused on how his group has learned from some of its failures.

Google stopped selling Glass to consumers earlier this year, noting that it was time for a "pause" and a strategy "reset." The company still sells Glass to businesses.

The device was greeted with enthusiasm among tech aficionados when it was first unveiled in 2012. But Glass, which allows users to access e-mail messages on its eye-level screen and to record video with a tiny camera, quickly ran into problems. Some mocked its awkward appearance, while others expressed concern it could be used to make video recordings surreptitiously.

Teller said the "bumps and scrapes" the company experienced with Glass were "absolutely critical for informing the future of Glass and wearables in general."

He also discussed the learning benefits of setbacks in other high-profile projects at the five-year-old Google X division, including drones, solar-powered balloons and self-driving cars.

Google initially designed its autonomous cars so that human drivers could take the controls when necessary but abruptly changed course when the company concluded that such a set-up was not safe enough, Teller said. Google's current self-driving car prototypes eliminate the steering wheel and brake pedal entirely, putting the machine always in control.

The decision to make such a change was not easy, he said, noting that the initial version of the company's self-driving modified Lexus SUVs had advanced to the point where the vehicles could handle highway driving extremely well.
